    ---------->
    On every person's face there are eyebrows, eyes, a nose and mouth.


    One day a mouth said to a nose, "In the end, what is it that you do? And why are you positioned above me? The nose answered and said, "Because I'm able to differentiate between fragrances and odors... and only then are you able to eat. So of course I'm over you."

    Then, again the nose said to the eyes, "What are you capable of? And why are you stationed atop me?" The eyes answered, saying, "I'm able to see what are beauty and ugliness, as well as ordinary things, contributing a great deal. Thus I should be over you.

    The nose continued by saying, "If you put it this way, what could the eyebrows possibly be for? And why are they higher than us? ----- At this moment, the eyebrows said, "Actually, I don't want to compare, but if you put me underneath the eyes and nose, just what kind of a face would it become?"


    Stop. Think a while.

    每一個人的臉上﹐ 都有眉毛、眼睛、 鼻子和嘴巴。
    有一天﹐嘴巴對鼻子說: 「你到底有什麼好本領﹐位置為什麼在我的上面?」
    鼻子回答嘴巴說:「應為我能分別香和臭﹐然後你才可以吃。 所以我當然就在你的
    上面了。」
    然後﹐鼻子又對眼睛說:「你到底有什麼本領﹐位置為什麼在我的上面?」
    眼睛回答鼻子說: 「我能看哪個美﹐哪個醜﹐還能看東西﹐功勞很大。 所以﹐應該
    在你的上面。」
    鼻子接著說: 「照你這麼講﹐ 那眉毛到底有什麼本領﹐ 為什麼在我們的上面呢? 」
    這時候﹐眉毛回答 鼻子說:「其實﹐我也不想爭位置。但是如果把握放在眼睛和鼻
    子下面﹐那會變成什麼樣的一張臉呢?」


    停一停, 想一想 。

        I was going to say Charlie Chaplin, but that's a pretty good answer, tets.
