Ninth grade rewrite

        Love and logic

Part Ⅰ

【1】Max was a young man who was very proud of his logical thinking and intelligence.  He was sharp, smart, and had a mind as sharp as a scalpel.  At just eighteen, he was already a force to be reckoned with in terms of intelligence.  

【2】His roommate, Petey, on the other hand, was a different story.  Petey was the same age as Max, but he was not as smart.  He was easily swayed by trends and fads, which Max found to be the opposite of rational thinking.

【3】One day, Max found Petey looking very upset.  He thought Petey was sick, but it turned out Petey was just upset because he couldn't afford a raccoon coat, which had suddenly become popular again.  Max didn't understand why Petey wanted the coat so much, but Petey was determined to have one.

【4】Max had an idea.  He knew where to get a raccoon coat from his father's old things.  In return, he wanted Petey's girlfriend, Polly.  Polly was very pretty and well-mannered, but not very smart.  Max thought he could help her become smarter.

【5】Max asked Petey if he was really in love with Polly.  Petey said he liked her but wasn't sure if it was love.  Max then asked if Petey had any special plans with Polly.  Petey said no, they were just friends.

【6】Max then asked if there was another boy Polly liked more.  Petey said no.  Max realized that if Petey wasn't with Polly, he could try to date her himself.

【7】Max went home for the weekend and brought back his father's old raccoon coat.  Petey was amazed and wanted it badly.  Max told Petey he could have the coat if he gave him Polly.

【8】Petey was shocked at first, but then he thought about it.  He wasn't really in love with Polly, and he really wanted the coat.  So, after a lot of thinking, Petey agreed to the deal.

爱情与逻辑

第一部分

【1】马克斯是一个年轻人，他对自己的逻辑思维和智慧非常自豪。他敏锐、聪明，头脑像手术刀一样敏锐。年仅18岁的他，就智力而言已经是一股不可忽视的力量。

【2】另一方面，他的室友彼得则是另一番景象。皮蒂和马克斯同龄，但他没有马克斯聪明。他很容易被潮流和时尚所左右，这与理性思考是相反的。

【3】一天，马克斯发现皮蒂看起来很沮丧。他以为皮蒂病了，但事实证明，皮蒂只是因为买不起一件突然又流行起来的浣熊皮大衣而心烦意乱。马克斯不明白皮蒂为什么那么想要那件大衣，但皮蒂决心要一件。

【4】马克斯有了一个主意。他知道在哪里可以从他父亲的旧东西里找到一件浣熊皮大衣。作为回报，他想要皮蒂的女朋友波莉。波莉很漂亮，很有礼貌，但不太聪明。马克斯认为他可以帮助她变得更聪明。

【5】马克斯问皮蒂是否真的爱上了波莉。皮蒂说他喜欢她，但不确定这是不是爱情。马克斯接着问皮蒂和波莉有没有什么特别的计划。皮特说没有，他们只是朋友。

【6】马克斯接着问波莉是否还有更喜欢的男孩。皮蒂说没有。马克斯意识到，如果皮蒂不和波莉在一起，他可以自己试着和她约会。

【7】马克斯回家度周末，带回了他父亲的旧浣熊皮大衣。皮蒂很惊讶，非常想要它。马克斯告诉皮蒂，如果他把波莉给他，他就可以得到那件外套。

【8】起先皮蒂很震惊，但后来他想了想。他并不是真的爱波莉，他真的很想要那件外套。所以，经过一番思考，皮特同意了这笔交易。
