English Original
In class one day, after a test, Mr. Johnson called Johnny to his desk and said, "Johnny, I have a feeling you've been cheating on your tests."
Johnny was astounded and asked for proof. "Well," said Mr. Johnson, "I was looking over your test. The question was, 'Who was our first president?' The girl next to you, Mary, put 'George Washington', and so did you."
"So? Everyone knows that," Johnny replied.
"Just wait," said Mr. Johnson. "The next question was, 'Who freed the slaves?' Mary put 'Abraham Lincoln', and so did you."
"I read the history book last night and remembered that," said Johnny.
"Wait," Mr. Johnson continued. "The next question was, 'Who was president during the Louisiana Purchase?' Mary put 'I don't know', and you put, 'Me neither'."

一天下课后，约翰逊先生把强尼叫到讲台旁说：“强尼，我觉得你考试作弊了。”
强尼非常惊讶，要求老师拿出证据。“好吧，”约翰逊先生说，“我看了你的试卷。问题是‘我们的第一任总统是谁？’坐在你旁边的女孩玛丽写了‘乔治·华盛顿’，你也写了同样的答案。”
“那又怎样？人人都知道。”强尼回答。
“等一下，”约翰逊先生说，“下一个问题是‘谁解放了奴隶？’玛丽写了‘亚伯拉罕·林肯’，你也一样。”
“我昨晚看了历史书，记得这个。”强尼说。
“等等，”约翰逊先生接着说，“下一个问题是‘路易斯安那购地时期的总统是谁？’玛丽写的是‘我不知道’，而你写的是‘我也不知道’。”
