A father of five came home with a toy, summoned his children and ask which one of them should be given the present, "Who is the most obedient, never talks back to Mother and does everything he or she is told?" he inquired.
There was silence and then a chorus of voices: "You play with it, Daddy!"
一個有五個孩子的父親帶著一件玩具回到家裡，將孩子們召來問這件禮物應該給誰。「誰最聽話，從不和媽媽頂嘴，做他該做的事？」他問道。大家都不吭聲。過了一會兒，孩子們異口同聲的說：「爸爸，這玩具您玩吧。」
