Tom says, “Sir, please don’t be angry. If you don’t believe me, now let me ask you a very easy question: If you have a group（群）of sheep(绵羊), I send you another group. Then, you say, how many groups of sheep do you have?”
“Why! That’s the easiest question in the world. One and one is two. Anybody knows that. I have two groups of sheep , of course.”
