A man got lost in a desert. He walked for two days but he still couldn’t find his way out. Dying for water, he found an empty house in the desert. There was a water pump(水泵）in the house!
The man was so happy that he ran to draw water. But no water how hard he tried, no matter came out.
He was sitting sadly on the ground when he saw a little bottle with a cork in it. On the bottle, there was an old note saying: You must add the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don’t forget to fill it with water again before you leave! The man took the cork out and found the bottle was full of water!
If I’m selfish（自私的）, as long as I drink the water, I can go out of this room alive, he thought. If I do as the note says, I might die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?
At last, he decided to do as the note said and began to draw water. Sure enough, lots of water started coming out from the pump!
After he drank enough, he filled the bottle with water and added his words after the note.
“Believe me, do as the note tells you!” he wrote.
