A young boy and his dadwent outfishing one finemorning. Aftera few quiet hours out in the boat, the boy became curious about the world around him. He looked up at his dad and asked “How do fish breathe under water?”
His dadthought about itfor a moment, then replied, “I really don’tknow, son.”
The boy sat quietly from another moment, then turned back to his dad and asked, “How does our boat float on the water?”
Once againhis dadreplied, “Don’t know, son.”
Pondering his thoughts again, a short while later, the boy asks “Why is the sky blue?”
Again,his dadreplied. “Don’t know, son.”
The inquisitive boy, worried he was annoying his father, asks this time “Dad, do you mindthat I’m asking youall of these questions?”
“Of course not son.” replied his dad, “How else are you ever going to learn anything?”
