Questions

A father and son went fishing one day. While they were out in the boat the boy suddenly became curious about the world around him

He asked his father, ``How does this boat float?

The father replied, ``I don't know son.''

A little later, the boy looked at his father and asked, ``How do fish breath underwater?''

Once again the father replied, ``I don't know son''

A little later the boy asked his father, ``Why is the sky blue?''

Again, the father repied. ``I don't know son''

Finally, the boy asked his father:

``Dad, do you mind my asking you all of these questions?''

The father replied, ``Of course not, if you don't ask questions, you will never learn anything''
