美国俄亥俄州有一座地理位置非常独特的房子。下雨时,落在屋顶北侧的雨滴,与小溪汇合后,流进附近的伊利湖,然后汇入位于加拿大东南部的圣劳伦斯湾;而落在房子屋顶南侧的雨滴经密西西比河,最终流入位于美国南部的墨西哥湾。在这座房子屋脊的最高处,两边的雨滴落点常常变幻不定。许多应该落在南侧的雨滴落在了北侧,或者应该落在北侧的雨滴落在了南侧。这些最初相距不过咫尺的雨滴经蜿蜒流淌,最终抵达大海后,彼此之间的距离达到了2000多英里。令人惊讶的是,

When it rains, the raindrops that fall to the north of the roof merge with the stream, flow into nearby Lake Erie, and then into St. Lawrence Bay, located in southeastern Canada; and the raindrops that fall to the south of the house’s roof pass the Mississippi River, Eventually flowing into the Gulf of Mexico in southern United States.

Many raindrops that should have landed on the south fall on the north, or raindrops that should fall on the north fall on the south. The raindrops, which were not far from the first, flowed meandering and eventually reached the sea, reaching over 2,000 miles from each other. Surprisingly,
