On the bottle there was a note, which read, “You must pour the water from the bottle into the pump before you draw water! Don' t forget, before you leave, refill the bottle with water!” He opened the bottle and found it was filled with water! He was so happy.
At that moment he thought, “It might be a little selfish(自私的), but as long as I drink the water in the bottle, I can be sure to leave this room alive! However, if I do as the note says and pour the only water into the pump and no water comes out, I will die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not ” It was five minutes later that he chose to pour the only water into the pump and began to draw water. After a minute, water started to come out! He made the right choice.
