■Brain teaser

It's a hand with three or four fingers only,

Which looks like someone with a disability;

Sometimes it feels so lonely,

Without ornaments, it still looks pretty.

A spear we often wield,

It really makes things stable.

A plough (犁) we don't use in the field,

It's only for the table.

Look! It's shimmering under the light,

which makes it a superstar;

Bill wonders why this is so bright,

Pat asks if there's still coffee in the jar.

■Quiz

Bill: What is the poem about?

(See picture 2)

ornament (n) 飾物

spear (n) 矛

shimmer (v) 閃閃發光
