The hostess apologized to her unexpected guest for serving an apple-pie without any cheese. The little boy of the family left the room quietly for a moment and returned with a piece of cheese which he laid on the guest's plate.
The visitor smiled, put the cheese into his mouth and then said: "You must have better eyes than your mother, sonny. Where did you find the cheese？"
"In the rat-trap, sir," replied the boy.
好客
一个客人在吃苹果馅饼时,发现没有奶酪了。对此,女主人向他表示歉意。这家的小男孩悄悄地离开了屋子。过了一会儿,他拿着一片奶酪回到房间,把奶酪放在客人的盘子里。
客人微笑着把奶酪放进嘴里说:“孩子,你比你妈妈有眼力见儿。你在哪里找到的奶酪？”
“在捕鼠夹上,先生”那小男孩说。
