解說
一個男孩與一個女孩一起玩耍,這個男孩收藏了完整的一套色彩繽紛的彈珠;這個女孩則有一些糖果。男孩告訴女孩,他想用他全部的彈珠來換取她的糖果,女孩答應了。
男孩暗自留下了最大也最美麗的一顆彈珠,其他才用來換女孩所有的糖果。女孩履行了自己的承諾。
當天晚上,女孩睡得非常安穩。但男孩輾轉反側,怎麼也睡不著,因為他一直在想,會不會這個女孩像他隱藏了他最好的彈珠一樣,也偷偷地藏了一些糖果……。
What is there more of the less you see? What flies around all day but never goes anywhere? What has only two words, but thousands of letters?
What is there more of the less you see?
(什麼東西你得到的愈多,看到的卻愈少?)
幾乎所有的東西都是「得到的愈多,看到的也愈多」,除非是「黑暗」,黑暗(Darkness)愈多「能見度」就愈低。

What flies around all day but never goes anywhere?
(什麼東西整天都在飛,卻哪兒也去不了?)
蝴蝶、蜜蜂、飛機,都可以一直飛來飛去,但不論怎麼飛,絕對不可能原地不動,除非是「飛舞」而不是「飛翔」(動詞)。旗子舞動也是「fly」。

What has only two words, but thousands of letters?
(為什麼只有兩個字,卻有數以千計的字母?)
「word」(字)由「letters」(字母)組成。但是「letters」除了是字母,也是信件,所以只有兩個字的地方(郵局),是有可能存放數以千計的信件。
