Question

“I am not here!”

　　Kate and Bruce worked in the same factory in London. They were good friends. They often played jokes on each other.

　　One day Kate met Bruce on her way to the factory. She said, “Hi, Bruce. It's good to see you.”

　　“How can you see me when I'm not here?” Bruce asked.

　　“What do you mean? You are not here?” Kate asked, “Of course you're here.”

　　“No, I'm not,” Bruce said, “and I'll bet(打賭) you ten dollars that I can prove(證明) I'm not here.”

　　“All right,” said Kate. “Ten dollars. Now prove you're not here.”

　　“It's easy,” Bruce said. “Am I in Hong Kong?”

　　“No,” said Kate.

　　“Am I in Paris?”

　　“No,” said Kate.

　　“If I'm not in Hong Kong and I'm not in Paris,” Bruce said, “then I must be somewhere else. Is that right?”

　　“That's right,” said Kate. “You must be somewhere else.”

　　“And if I'm somewhere else, I can't be here, can I? Ten dollars, please.”

　　“You're very clever, Bruce.”

　　“We had a bet.”

　　“Certainly we had a bet,” Kate said. “But how can I give you ten dollars if you're not here?”

　　With a laugh Kate walked away.
