Three Men in the Middle of the Desert
Three men were in the middle of a desert (沙漠) when their car broke down. For their hike (徒步旅行) to town, they each decided to take one thing with them.
One man took a jug (壶;罐) of water. The second man took a sandwich. The last man took one of the car doors.
The first man said to the last man, "I'm bringing the water because if I get thirsty, I can take a drink. And it makes sense to bring a sandwich in case we get hungry, but why bring a car door?"
The last man replied, "If I got hot, I can just roll down the window."
