参考答案

那是晴朗的一天。一个小男孩的父亲正坐在沙发土，边喝啤酒边看一场篮球赛。看到这一幕，男孩冲到父亲面前大喊：“爸爸，教我怎么接球吧！”这位父亲盯着电视屏幕回答：“先让我看完比赛。到外面玩五分钟再回来。”

“好的，爸爸！”男孩说完从屋里跑了出去。五分钟后，男孩回来了，大喊道：“爸爸，现在我们来玩抛接球吧！”

这个时候，这位父亲已经又开了一罐啤酒，另一场比赛也开始了。对男孩打断他很不耐烦，爸爸给儿子拿来一本杂志。杂志封面上是一张大的世界地图=这位生气又不耐烦的父亲开始把杂志封面撕成碎片。然后，父亲转过来对男孩说，“儿子，等你把这幅图拼回去，我们就玩抛接球，但是在你拼完之前别再打扰我了：”

几分钟之后，男孩回来了，说“我拼完了，爸爸！我们现在能玩抛接球了吗？”父亲惊讶地看向自己的孩子，在孩子的小手里放着完整拼好的杂志地图。父亲问孩子是怎么这么快把整个世界拼在一起的。

“很简单”，男孩回答说。“世界的另一面是一个人的样子，我只要把这个人拼好了，世界也就拼好了。”
