    Yo lo traduciría como regalo (treat) o castigo. Trambien podría ser "golosina o castigo", . Entiendo que la persona que no le regale a los niños una golosina recibirán un castigo (travesura)

    Saludos

    I'm going with Hebe's "regalo o castigo". It rolls off the tongue so nicely!

    In most of the movies I have seen, the phrase is translated as "dulce o truco", but sincerely, it doesn't have sense for me. May be "dulce o travesura" is better.

    Default Trato o Truco

    Doy un voto por "trato o truco". En este tipo de traducción de frases, es muy importante mantener un cierto paralelismo con la rima del original. Si bien no siempre puede ser idéntico - obviamente - mantener algún tipo de rima es importante.
