A schoolboy went home with a pain in his stomach. “Well, sit down and eat your tea,” said his mother. “Your stomach’s hurting because it’s empty. It’ll be all right when you’re got something in it.”

Shortly afterwards, his dad came in from the office, complaining of (1) a headache.
“That’s because it’s empty,” said his bright (2) son. “You’d be all right if you had something in it.”

一個男孩放學回家時，覺得肚子有點痛。“來，坐下來吃點茶點，”媽媽說，“你肚子痛是因為你的肚子是空的。吃點東西就好了。”

一會兒，男孩的爸爸回來了，說是頭痛。

“你頭痛是因為你的腦袋是空的。”他那機靈的兒子說，“里面裝點東西就會好的。”
