Question

Mr. White is a blind man who likes traveling alone. However, as a blind man, he has met a lot of troubles during his trips.

Once Mr. White traveled to Texas. It was his first time to go there. On the plane, he sat next to a woman who came from Texas. The woman told him that everything was bigger and better in her city. When Mr. White arrived, he found a hotel and decided to spend the night there.

After dinner, Mr. White went to a wine bar(酒吧) and ordered a glass of wine. When the waiter(服务员) brought him one, he was surprised.“Wow! How big!”he said. Mr. White doesn’t drink often, so he was a little drunk after drinking the wine. He wanted to go to the restroom, so he asked another waiter for directions.“Turn right at the information desk and it is the second door on the right,”said the waiter.

When Mr. White walked past the first door, he fell down. He missed the second and went towards the third door instead. He walked forward and then fell into the swimming pool. At that time he remembered that everything there was bigger. “Don’t flush(冲洗)! Don’t flush!”he shouted as soon as he got his head above water
