336　A Tragedy 悲劇

President S. H. visits a school in the capital and asks: “What's a tragedy?” Says one boy: “If a child gets run over by a car, it's a tragedy.” President S. H. shakes his head and says: “No, that's an accident.” Says another boy: “If a bus full of kids goes down a cliff, it's a tragedy.” Again, President S. H. shakes his head and says: “No, that's a great loss, but not a tragedy.” A third boy says: “If your plane crashes and you die, that's a tragedy.” President S. H. beams and says: “Well done. How do you figure that out?” The boy replies: “Because it wouldn't be an accident and it wouldn't be a great loss.”
