Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"
"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.
"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly.
"Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"
"She is the one who sells the candy."

“你真是個好孩子，”媽媽驕傲地說。
“再給你兩分錢。可你爲什麼對那位老太太那麼感興趣呢?”
“她是個賣糖果的。”
