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

约翰尼放学回家后脸色特别难看，他妈妈非常着急。“怎么了？”她问道。约翰尼从裤兜里掏出老师的一张便条，上面写着：“约翰尼这孩子非常调皮，请认真地和他谈谈。”

“你干了什么？”妈妈问道。
“没什么，”约翰尼抽泣道，“就是老师问了一个问题，只有我答得出。”

“嗯，”妈妈沉吟道，“那是什么问题呢？”
“是谁把死耗子放在我抽屉里的？”约翰尼答道。
