吻/余途
　　
　　《吻》是著名画家的一幅油画新作，初上展厅，吸引了大批参观者，人们试图从纯白的画面里找到吻的痕迹，大都因为没有找到而失望。有人说吻在画里你想看到就能看到，找吻的人还是看不到。
　　突然间，一个女子情不自禁地亲吻了这幅画，她樱桃般红润的唇印在了洁白的画布上。
　　警方在接到报案后迅速逮捕了这名女子。
　　法院很快以“破坏艺术品”罪审判她。在法庭上她陈述道：“我也是画家，画布的纯粹和洁白让我身不由己献上一吻。”
　　《吻》的画家为她出庭辩护说：“你们指控的嫌疑人作为《吻》的作者，完成了画作的最后一笔，《吻》至此完美无缺了。”
　　
　　KISS
　　
　　By Yu Tu
　　
　　KISS was a new painting by a well-known artist. Its first release at the exhibit hall drew great interest of a large audience. Standing in front of the lily-white canvas, the visitors had tried in vain to track down any trace of a kiss or something. Some were disappointed. Some said KISS was present in the painting and it could surely be seen as long as one focused. Still the kiss-hunters failed.
　　A lady, all of a sudden, let herself go kissing the painting, her cherry-like ruddy lips printed on the purely white canvas.
　　The police got the report immediately and arrested the lady on the spot.
　　She was accused of Disruption of Artwork. At the court she defended for herself, “I’m an artist too. For the sake of the canvas, its purity, its clean white, I couldn’t help kissing it.”
　　The “victim” defended for the lady, “As a co-worker, the accused has indeed perfected the painting by her last stroke. She’s made KISS a genuine masterpiece.”
