1.

Once there was a club that only smart people could join. Many people

wanted to join it so that they would be able to spend more time with other smart

people.

One night, the club's members were having a dinner party in a restaurant.

They talked and enjoyed their food. One of them thought that his salad tasted a

little boring, so he asked for a salt shaker（调料瓶）and added some salt.

However, it turned out to be sugar. The group found that the salt on the table was

in the sugar shaker while the sugar was in the salt shaker.

The club members told the waiter about the problem. But there were no other

bottles. How could the waiter solve this problem? After a long discussion, the

group suggested some ways to make it right.

But the waiter simply looked at the shakers and said, "It's easy." He took the

labels（标签）off both shakers and exchanged（互换）them. The room quickly

became silent.

Sometimes we make problems more difficult to solve than they should be.

It's good to take a step back and see if there is a simpler way first.
