• Three men traveling on a train began a
  conversation about the world's greatest wonders.
• In my opinion, the first man said, the
  Egyptian pyramids are the world's greatest
  wonder. Although they were built thousands of
  years ago, they are still standing. And remember
  the people who built them had only simple tools.
  They did not have the kind of machinery that
  builders and engineers have today.
• I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are
  wonderful, the second man said, but I do not
  think they are the greatest wonder. I believe
  computers are more wonderful than the pyramids.
  They have taken people to the moon and brought
  them back safely. In seconds,they carry out
  mathematical calculations that would take a
  person a hundred years to do.

  you think is the greatest wonder in the world?

  he said, Well,I agree that the pyramids are
  wonderful, and I agree that computers are
  wonderful, too. However,in my opinion, the most
  wonderful thing in the world is this thermos.
• And he took a thermos out of his bag and held
  it up.
• The other two men were very surprised. A
  thermos?they exclaimed. But that's a simple
  thing.
• Oh, no,its not, the third man said. In the
  winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot.
  In the summer you put in a cold drink and it
  stays cold. How does the thermos know whether
  its winter or summer?
