So hospitable the boy is

The hostess apologized to her unexpected guest for serving an apple-pie without any cheese.

The little boy of the family left the room quietly for a moment and returned with a piece of cheese which he laid on the guest's plate.

The visitor smiled, put the cheese into his mouth and then said: "You must have better eyes than your mother, sonny.

Where did you find the cheese?" "In the rat-trap, sir," replied the boy.
