图画tú huà课kè上shàng,老师lǎo shī请qǐng大家dà jiā画huà讲jiǎng台上tái shàng的de杨yáng桃táo。从cóng我wǒ坐zuò的de角度jiǎo dù看kàn,杨yáng桃táo像xiàng个gè五wǔ角jiǎo星xīng,我wǒ就jiù老lǎo老实lǎo shi实shí画huà成chéng了le五wǔ角jiǎo星xīng。

In art class the teacher asked everyone to draw the starfruit on the lectern. From where I sat it looked like a five-pointed star, so that is exactly what I drew.

几jǐ个gè同学tóng xué看kàn了le哈哈hā hā大dà笑xiào:杨yáng桃táo怎么zěn me会长huì zhǎng成chéng星星xīng xing的de样子yàng zi?

Some classmates laughed out loud: a starfruit doesn't look like a star!

老师lǎo shī没méi说话shuō huà,让ràng笑xiào我wǒ的de同学tóng xué坐zuò到dào我wǒ位子wèi zi上shàng看kàn。他们tā men一yí看kàn,杨yáng桃táo真的zhēn de像xiàng颗kē五wǔ角jiǎo星xīng。

The teacher said nothing, only had them sit in my seat and look - and from there it really was star-shaped.

老师lǎo shī告诉gào su我们wǒ men:看kàn的de角度jiǎo dù不同bù tóng,看到kàn dào的de样子yàng zi就jiù不同bù tóng。别人bié ren画huà得de和hé你nǐ不bù一样yí yàng时shí,先xiān别bié忙máng着zhe笑xiào。

The teacher told us: different angles show different shapes. When someone draws it differently from you, don't rush to laugh.
