猴子和猩猩的区别

突然想到的一件小事。一次陪当时3年级的儿子去动物园参加童子军活动，期间老师问了个问题，就是猴子和猩猩的区别是什么。我当时脑子里一堆答案，但不知哪个最好。我儿子回答最快，他说：第一，猩猩没有尾巴；第二，.......。我不记得后面的了，但我记得我的答案中好像尾巴不是第一选择，我甚至不记得我的答…

A little thing that suddenly came to mind.

Once I went with my son, then in 3rd grade, to the zoo for a Cub Scout activity. The teacher asked a question: what's the difference between monkeys and apes?

At the time my head was full of answers, but I didn't know which was best.

My son answered fastest. He said: first, apes have no tails; second, .......

I don't remember the rest, but I remember that in my answers the tail didn't seem to be the first choice; I don't even remember whether my answers considered the tail at all.

I felt the education I received might be a bit off, so I went on to ask quite a few people.

As I recall, it seems only Ding Lei said: "First, apes have no tails; ........"

Heh, anyone who doesn't believe it can ask the people around them.
