22、Three men have lunch together. After the lunch is over, the men disagree on who should pay for the food. So, like little boys, they play a game called rock-paper-scissors. Around the world, when people want to decide on something or someone, they play this fun game.

In this game, a closed hand means a rock, an open hand means a piece of paper, and a hand with two fingers out means scissors. We all know how this is played. Paper can cover a rock, so rock loses to paper; scissors will break if they try to cut a rock, so scissors lose to rock; and scissors can cut paper, so paper loses to scissors.

It seems that everyone plays this game, but many people do not know where it came from.

People first started playing a game like rock-paper-scissors in ancient China. During the Han Dynasty, people played a game called shoushiling（手势令）. In this game, people used hand gestures like in the modern rock-paper-scissors game, but their gestures meant different kinds of animals. In the 17th century, this game was brought to Japan. The modern form of rock-paper-scissors was developed in Japan in the late 19th century. From Japan, it became known in Western countries, and even today many people think that it is a Japanese game.

A．different kinds of animals
