One day Betty said to her brother,"There were thirteen birds in a tree.A hunter came by shot one of them.How many were left in the tree?"
"Twelve,"answered Tom at once.
"Think again,Tom.Think a little before you speak."
"Why,isn't thirteen minus one twelve?"
"No,you're not right."
Why was Tom wrong?

文章比较简单的,意思如下：
一天Betty（贝蒂）问她弟弟：“树上有13只鸟,猎人来了,射中了一只.树上还有多少只呢?”
“12只.”Tom （汤姆）立刻回答道.
“再想想,回答前再好好想想.”
“怎么回事?13-1不是12吗?”
“对呀,反正你错了.”
Tom （汤姆）为什么错了呢?
In fact,there wasn't any bird in the tree.事实上,树上一只鸟也没有了.
A hunter shot one bird,then the others must have been frightened and flown away.
猎人射中一只鸟,那么其它的鸟一定会被吓飞的.
