Once he put a note in the homework he handed in, saying: “Professor, it is said that today’s college students are c 5 than potatoes. Do you agree?”
That day Professor Yang sent for him after class. When he came, he f 6 the professor at a table with food on it. They drank happily over their meal.
When they became half drunk, the professor took out a small potato that was sprouting (发芽的). “Do you know how much this c 7 ?” he asked the young man. “It’s soft but poisonous. N 8 will take it even if it’s free. ” He then threw the potato away.
