English Original
"Why is it that three of our four children have black hair but little Jim is a blond? Whose child is Jim?"
"I can't tell you the truth," said his wife after a long pause. "It would hurt you too much."
"Oh, don't be ridiculous," he insisted. "I don't mind who the father is. I'm just curious."
The wife finally confessed. "Well, if you really want to know, Jim is your child."

“我不能告诉你真相，”他妻子停了许久才说，“那会深深伤害你。”
“哦，别胡说了，”他坚持道，“我不在乎他的父亲是谁，我只是好奇。”
妻子最终承认了。“好吧，如果你真想知道的话，吉姆是你的孩子。”
