English Original
In the Amazon rainforest, three explorers—an Irishman, an Englishman, and an American—encountered a tribe. The tribal leader declared they must pass a test involving three caves to traverse his territory.
He led them to the caves and explained: "In the first cave are three bottles of 100-year-old rum, said to be toxic. Each of you must drink one. In the second cave lies a lion with a thorn in its foot; you must remove it. In the third cave is a woman who has never been satisfied; she must be satisfied."
The hesitant explorers proceeded. The American entered the first cave, drank the rum, and died soon afterward. The Englishman drank his bottle, then entered the second cave. Loud commotion and roaring ensued, but he never emerged.
Finally, the Irishman drank his rum and entered the second cave. After initial commotion, a soft purring was heard. He then entered the third cave. Two minutes later, he emerged, looking puzzled, and asked, "Where's the thorn in the woman's foot?"

在亚马逊雨林中，三位探险家——一位爱尔兰人、一位英国人和一位美国人——遇到了一个部落。部落首领宣称，他们必须通过一项涉及三个洞穴的考验才能穿越他的领地。
首领将他们带到洞穴前解释道："第一个洞穴里有三瓶据说有毒的百年朗姆酒，你们每人必须喝一瓶。第二个洞穴里有一只脚上扎了刺的狮子；你们必须把刺拔出来。第三个洞穴里有一个从未得到满足的女人；你们必须让她满足。"
犹豫的探险家们开始了考验。美国人走进第一个洞穴，喝下朗姆酒，不久后便死了。英国人喝了他的酒，然后进入第二个洞穴。里面传来巨大的骚动和咆哮声，但他再也没出来。
最后，爱尔兰人喝了他的酒，进入第二个洞穴。一阵骚动之后，传来了轻柔的呼噜声。接着他进入了第三个洞穴。两分钟后，他走了出来，一脸困惑地问道："那女人脚上的刺在哪儿？"
