English Original
A boy was playing in the front yard while his grandfather watched from the porch. Seeing the boy pull a worm from the ground, the grandfather offered him five dollars if he could put the worm back into its hole.
The boy thought it would be easy, but soon struggled. Just as he was about to give up, he ran inside, grabbed a can of his grandmother's hairspray, sprayed the worm, let it dry, and successfully inserted it back into the hole.
Impressed, the grandfather paid the boy five dollars, saying, "Well, boy, that's a neat trick."
The next day, the grandfather handed the boy another five dollars. Puzzled, the boy asked, "What is this for?"
The grandfather replied, "Your grandmother thought it was a neat trick too!"

一个小男孩在前院玩耍,他的祖父坐在门廊上看着。祖父看到男孩从地里拔出一条蚯蚓,便走过去对他说:“嘿,孩子,如果你能把这条蚯蚓塞回你拔出来的那个洞里,我就给你五美元。”
男孩以为这很容易,便试了试。但过了一会儿,他几乎要放弃了。突然,他跑进屋里,拿了一罐祖母的发胶。他把发胶喷满蚯蚓全身,等它干了之后,成功地将它塞回了洞里。
祖父很佩服,付给男孩五美元,说道:“好吧,孩子,这招真妙。”
第二天,祖父又递给男孩五美元。男孩困惑地问:“这是为什么?”
祖父回答说:“你祖母也觉得这招很妙!”
