Charles Darwin was a great naturalist，famous for his theory of evolution.
One day，two boys decided to play a trick on the great man.They took the body of a centipede，the head of a beetle，the legs of a grasshopper，and the wings of a butterfly and glued them together.Putting the strange creature into a box carefully，they took it to Darwin.“Please，Sir.”said one of the two boy，“can you tell us what sort of a bug this is？”
The naturalist looked at the“bug”and then looked at the boys.“Did it hum？”he asked.“Oh，yes.It did.”
“In that case.”Darwin declared，“I would say it's a humbug！”
查尔斯·达尔文是一位著名自然学家，因其进化论而闻名。
一天，两个男孩决定戏弄一把这个伟大的人。他们把蜈蚣的身体、甲壳虫的脑袋、蚱蜢的腿和蝴蝶的翅膀粘在了一起。他们把这个奇怪的生物小心地放在了盒子里，拿给达尔文。其中一个男孩说：“先生，请问您能告诉我这是只什么虫子吗？”
这位自然学家看着这个“虫子”，问：“它叫吗？”“是的，它会叫。”男孩子们答道。
“这样的话，”达尔文说道：“它就是个骗子！”
