Mr Smith telephoned the doctor in the middle of the night.
 
"Come quickly, Doctor, You know that my wife1 sleeps with her mouth open. Well , a mouse has run inside2 her!"
 
"I will be with you in about ten minutes," replied3 the doctor. "Until4 I arrive, try holding a piece of cheese in front of her mouth. This may bring the mouse out."
 
When the doctor arrived, Mr Smith was5 not holding a piece of cheese. He was holding a fish in front of his wife's mouth.
"What are you doing", asked the doctor. "A mouse doesn't like a fish."
 
"I know," said6 Mr Smith, "But we have to get a cat at first." 
 
史密斯先生在半夜里给医生打电话。
 
“医生，快来啊！你知道我妻子习惯张着嘴睡觉，结果一只老鼠钻进去了。”
 
“我十分钟后到，”医生回答，“在我到达之前，试着在她嘴面前拿一片干奶酪，也许会把老鼠引出来。”
 
当医生到达时，史密斯先生不是拿一片干奶酪，而是在妻子嘴前拿着一条鱼。
 
“你这是干什么呀？”医生说道，“老鼠不喜欢吃鱼。”
 
“这我知道，”史密斯先生说，“可我得先把猫引出来。”
