Six miners( 矿工) were excavating(挖掘) coal in a deep mine. Suddenly, the mine fell down and
the exits were blocked (封锁). Accidents always happened in that area. By experience, they knew
that the biggest problem was lack of oxygen. The air in the mine could only keep them alive for three
hours.
Among the six miners, only one had a watch. So they made him tell them the time every half an
hour. When the first half of an hour passed, the miner who had a watch said, "Half an hour passed."
He worried because he knew that he was telling them how far they were from death. Then he got an
idea. He decided not to make his friends die so painfully. The second half of an hour passed, but he
said nothing. When another fifteen minutes passed, he said, "An hour already." In fact, it had passed
75 minutes. Another hour passed, the miner said, "Another half an hour." The other five miners all
thought that only 90 minutes had passed. Only the miner who had a watch knew that 135 minutes had
already passed.
Four hours after the accident, rescuers (救援者) came. To their surprise, five of the miners were
still alive and only one died - he was the one who had a watch.

because he knew the truth.
