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.

布朗先生在看晚報(bào)，忽然傳來(lái)一陣什么東西從樓上摔下來(lái)的響聲。他跳了起來(lái)，跑到廳里，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己上了學(xué)的兒子四角朝天地躺在地上。
你是不是踩漏了一級(jí)臺(tái)階？爸爸問(wèn)。
不，我每一級(jí)都撞上了，一級(jí)也沒(méi)有漏掉！兒子痛苦地回答。
