     A lot of boys and girls in Western countries are wearing the same kind of clothes, and many of them have long hair,

so it is often difficult to tell if they are boys or girls.

     One day, an old man went for a walk in a park in Washington, and when he was tired, he sat down in a chair next to

a pool. A young person was standing on the other side of the pool.

     "Oh!" the old man said to the person sitting beside him in the chair. "Do you see that person with the glasses and

long hair? Is it a boy or a girl?" "A girl," said the neighbour(邻座人) who has long hair.  "She is my daughter. " "Oh!"

the old man said quickly. "Please forgive me, I did not know you were her mother. " "I'm not," said the other person.

"I'm her father. "
