and got on one of them.He counted (数) the donkeys and there were only five. So he got off (下来) and
went to look for the sixth. He looked and looked, but he did not find it, so he went back to the donkeys
and counted them again. To his surprise (令他惊讶的是), this time there were six. So he got on one of
them again and they started. After a few minutes, he counted the donkeys again and again there were only
five!He became confused (困惑的). Just then a friend of his passed him. The old man said to him, "I left
my house with six donkeys. Then I had five, then I had six again, and now I have only five! One, two,
three, four, five."
"But," said his friend, "you are sitting on a donkey, too. This is the sixth. And you are the seventh!"
