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.
Did you miss a step? asked his dad.
No, I caught every blessed one! came the bitter answered.
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。
你是不是踩漏了一级台阶?爸爸问。
不,我每一级都撞上了,一级也没有漏掉!儿子痛苦地回答。
