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!"
