His name was Johnny, and one day he came home from school looking so miserable that his mother was worried. “What is wrong?” she finally asked. Out of his trousers pocket, Johnny fished a note from the teacher which said, “Johnny has been a very naughty boy. Please have a serious talk with him.”

“What did you do?” asked mother.
“Nothing,” sobbed Johnny, “except that the teacher asked a question and I was the only one who could answer it.”

“H’m,” murmured mother, “what was the question?”
“Who put the dead mouse in my drawer?” answered Johnny.

只有他能答得出

約翰尼放學回家后臉色特別難看，他媽媽非常著急。“怎么了？”她問道。約翰尼從褲兜里掏出老師的一張便條，上面寫著：“約翰尼這孩子非常調皮，請認真地和他談談。”

“你干了什么？”媽媽問道。
“沒什么，”約翰尼抽泣道，“就是老師問了一個問題，只有我答得出。”

“嗯，”媽媽沉吟道，“那是什么問題呢？”
“是誰把死耗子放在我抽屜里的？”約翰尼答道。
