All These Questions

A father and son went fishing one summer day. While they were out in the boat, the boy became curious about the world around him.
He asked his father, “Dad, how does this boat float?”
“Don’t rightly know, son.”
“Dad, how do fish breath underwater?”
“Don’t rightly know, son.”
“Dad, why is the sky blue?”
“Don’t rightly know, son.”
Eventually, after the boy asked his father several more questions, “Dad, do you mind me asking all these questions?”
“Of course not, son. If you don’t ask questions, you never learn anything.”
