English Original
A teenager lost a contact lens while playing basketball in his driveway.
After a fruitless search, he told his mother the lens was nowhere to be found. Undaunted, she went outside and returned a few minutes later with the lens in her hand.
"How did you manage to find it, Mom?" the teenager asked.
"We weren't looking for the same thing," she replied. "You were looking for a small piece of plastic. I was looking for $150."

一个少年在自家车道上打篮球时，弄丢了一只隐形眼镜。
一番徒劳的寻找后，他告诉母亲哪里都找不到镜片。母亲毫不气馁，她走到外面，几分钟后手里拿着镜片回来了。
“妈妈，你是怎么找到的？”少年问道。
“我们寻找的不是同一件东西，”她回答，“你找的是一小片塑料，而我是在找150美元。”
