English Original
The hostess apologized to her unexpected guest for serving apple pie without cheese. The family's little boy quietly left the room and returned a moment later with a piece of cheese, which he placed on the guest's plate.
The visitor smiled, put the cheese into his mouth, and said, "You must have better eyes than your mother, sonny. Where did you find the cheese?"
"In the rat-trap, sir," replied the boy.

客人微笑着把奶酪放进嘴里，然后说道：“孩子，你的眼神一定比你妈妈好。你在哪儿找到奶酪的？”
“在捕鼠夹上，先生。”男孩回答道。
