Mr. Brown was reading his evening paper when there came a tremendous banging down the stairs. He jumped up, ran to the hall, and discovered his schoolboy son sprawled on the floor.
布朗先生在看晚报,忽然传来一阵什么东西从楼上摔下来的响声。他跳了起来,跑到厅里,发现自己上了学的儿子四角朝天地躺在地上。
" Did you miss a step?" asked his dad.
“ 你是不是踩漏了一级台阶?”爸爸问。
" No, I caught every blessed one!"
“不,我每一级都撞上了,一级也没有漏掉!”
