"What's that?" asked the father."It is a crow," answered the son.
"What is that?" asked the fatheragain after a few minutes. "Father, I just told you. It's a crow,"said the son.
"What's that?" asked the oldfather a third time.
Why do you keep asking me the same questionagain and again? I told you so many times : 'IT IS A CROW'!" shouted theson.
After a little while, the father went tohis room and came back with an old diary. He asked his son to read thefollowing words in the diary:
"Today my 3-year-old son was sittingwith me on the sofa. When a crow was sitting on the window, he asked me 23times what it was, and 23 times I answered him, ‘it is a crow.' I hugged (拥抱)him lovingly each time he asked me the same question, again and again."
