According to a news report, a certain private school in Victoria, recently was faced with a problem.

   A number of Grade 12 girls were beginning to use lipstick (口红) and put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put it on, they put their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night, the dustman would remove them and the next day, the girls would put them back.

   Finally, the principal (校长) decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the dustman. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for him who had to clean the mirror every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirror, she asked the dustman to show the girls how much effort was required.

   He took out a long-handled squeegee(橡皮拖把), dipped it in the toilet(厕所,马桶), and cleaned the mirror with it.

   After that, there weren’t lip prints left on the mirror any more.
