A man loved his son very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy.
One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra（额外的） work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn’t be able to play with his son. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. Looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently（耐心地） tore （撕） it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.
When he got home, his son wanted to play with him, but he spreat （铺） all the pieces of the map on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time his son could put it back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, “OK, it’s finished. Can we play now?” The man was surprised, saying, “That’s impossible. Let’s go and see.” And sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every piece in its place. The man said, “That’s amazing! How did you do that?” The boy said, “It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together, the whole world fell into place.”
