English Original
Mr. Brown was reading his evening paper when a tremendous banging echoed down the stairs. He jumped up, ran to the hall, and discovered his schoolboy son sprawled on the floor.
"Did you miss a step?" asked his dad.
"No, I caught every blessed one!" came the bitter answer.

布朗先生正在看晚报,突然楼梯上传来一阵巨大的撞击声。他跳起来,跑到门厅,发现他那上学的儿子正四仰八叉地躺在地上。
“你是不是踩漏了一级台阶?”爸爸问道。
“不,我每一级都‘接住’了,一级也没漏掉!”儿子痛苦地回答道。
