Little Johnny and his father went fishing one day. After a couple hours out
in the boat, Little Johnny suddenly became curious about the world
around him. He asked his father, "How does this boat float?"
The father thought for a moment, then replied, "I don't rightly
know, son."
Little Johnny returned to his contemplation, then turned back to his
father, "How do fish breath underwater?"
Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly know, son."
A little later Little Johnny asked, "Why is the sky blue?"
Again, the father replied. "Don't rightly know, son."
Worried he was going to annoy his father, he says, "Dad, do you
mind my asking you all of these questions?"
"Of course not, son. If you don't ask questions ... you'll never
learn anything!" |
