A student asked his teacher,"Sir,I have a question.How many friends should a man have-one or many?"
"It is very easy,"the teacher answered."Get me that red apple from the highest（最高的）branch（树枝）of the tree."The student looked up and said,"It\’s too high!I can\’t get it."
"Ask a friend to help."the teacher said.
The student called a friend and stood on his shoulders（肩膀）for the branch.
"I still can\’t get it,sir,"said the student sadly after the first try.
"Don\’t you have more friends?"the teacher smiled.
The student asked more friends to come over.They stood on each other\’s shoulders,trying to make a pyramid（金字塔）to get higher.But the student still couldn\’t get the apple.Then one of the friends went home,brought a ladder（梯子）and the student finally picked the apple.
After getting the apple,the teacher asked,"So,do you know how many friends a man needs?"
"I do,"the student said."Many,so together we can work out any problem."
"Sounds good,"the teacher said."You need as many friends as you can.Among（在……之中）them,there will be at least（至少）one clever man who can think of a good idea,like getting a ladder!"
