Banta`s knowledge

  •  

    Banta and and son went fishing one day. Sitting in the boat for a couple of hours gave them not much to do, so the son started thinking about the world around him. He began to get curious so he asked his father some questions.
    "How does this boat float?"
    Banta thought for a moment, then replied, "Don`t rightly know, son."
    The boy returned to his contemplation, but soon came up with another one, "How do fish breath underwater?"
    Once again Banta replied, "Don`t rightly know, son."
    A little later the boy asked Banta, "Why is the sky blue?"

    Banta immediately assured him, "Of course not, son. If you don`t ask questions, you`ll never learn anything!"
