At the dinner table one night ,a young boy was telling his parents ,who had not had much education ,that his
schooling made him smarter than people who had not gone to school.
"How is that ?" asked his father .
"Well," said the boy ,"I can reason better .For example ,tell me how many chickens you
think are in that dish ."
"There are two ," answered the father .
"I can prove there are three ,"said the boy .He pointed to the first chicken and said,
"Do you agree that this is one ?"The father agreed。 The boy pointed to the other
chicken and asked ,"And this is two ?" The father again agreed. "Don't one and two
make three?" asked the boy .
"Wonderful ,"answered his father ."You are very clever . Now I'll serve the first
chicken
to your mother ,serve the second to myself, and you can have the third .Is that all
right with you ?"
