The woman of the rustic old home apologized to her unexpected guests for serving the apple pie without cheese. The little boy of the family slipped quietly away from the table for a moment, and returned with a cube of cheese, which he laid on the guest's plate. The visitor smiled in recognition of the young boy’s thoughtfulness, popped the cheese into his mouth, and then remarked: You must have sharper eyes than your mother, sonny. Where did you find it?
The young boy replied with a flush of pride:
In the rat-trap sir.
