A woman answered her front door and found two boys holding a list. "Lady," one of them explained, "we are on a treasure hunt, and we need three grains of wheat, a pork-chop bone and a piece of used carbon paper to earn a dollar. "
个妇人打开前门,看到两个男孩手里拿着一张字条。“夫人,”其中一个解释道,“我们在寻宝。我们需要三颗麦粒、一块猪排骨、一张用过的复写纸来挣一美元。”

"Wow," the woman replied, "who sent you on such a challenging hunt?"
“哦,”那位妇女回答道:“谁让你们作这样富有挑战性的搜寻的?”

"Our baby-sitter's boyfriend. "
