A little boy was practicing his violin, while his father sat reading the newspaper. The family dog began to howl along dismally.

Finally, the father could endure the combination no more and said, "Can't you play something the dog doesn't know?"

一个小男孩在练习小提琴，他的父亲在读报纸。随着小男孩的琴声，家里养的狗也开始高一声低一声的叫起来。

最后，小男孩的父亲实在忍不下去了，说，“难道你就不能拉一些狗听不懂的曲子吗？”
