Reasons

"Reasons"*

*A young boy came to Sunday School late. His teacher
knew that he was usually very prompt and asked him
if anything was wrong.

The boy replied that he was going fishing but his dad
told him that he needed to go to church.

The teacher was very impressed and asked the boy if
his dad had explained to him why it was more
important to go to church than to go fishing,

To which the boy replied, "Yes he did. Dad said he didn't
 have enough bait for both of us."

"Questions"*

*A father and son went fishing one day. After a couple
hours 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 thought for a moment, then replied,
"Don't rightly know, son."

The boy returned to his contemplation, then turned
back to his father, "How do fish breath underwater?"
Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly know, son."

A little later the boy asked his father, "Why is the
sky blue?" Again, the father replied. "Don't rightly know, son."

Worried he was going to annoy his father, he says,
"Dad, do you mind my asking you all of these questions?"

"Of course not son. If you don't ask questions,
you'll never learn anything!"
