An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow(乌鸦) rested on their window.

The father asked his son, “What is this?”

The son replied “It is a crow.”

After a few seconds the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?”

The son said, “Father, I just now told you; it is a crow.”

After a little while, the old man again asked his son the third time, “What is this?”

At this time some expression of anger was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father, “It is a crow, a crow.”

A little later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is it?”

This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? Although I have told you so many times? It is a crow. Are you not able to understand this?”

A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. The following words were written in it:

Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa. When a crow was sitting on the window, my son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel angered. I rather felt affection for my innocent(单纯的) child.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent,stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.

The 57?year?old,father?of?three,revealed on The Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their 13th birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.

“We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone,” the self?made billionaire explained.

He said as a result his children often return home from school complaining,“All the other kids have one.I’m the only one without one.It’s so embarrassing.”

Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters’ email and Facebook accounts,Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer,16,who he describes as “independent”.He admitted that monitoring online activity is “a very tricky issue for parents now”.

Despite their vast wealth Mr and Mrs Gates,who live in Lake Medina,have said they want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible.

It was previously reported that their youngsters have to complete household chores and are given a modest amount of pocket money.

And in 2010 Mr Gates said that he intends to give most of his $61 billion fortune away rather than hand it down.“That wouldn’t be good either for my kids or society,” he said.

Also during the Today interview with host Matt Lauer,Mr Gates,who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy,said that helping others gives him the same excitement as creating software.

“What you really feel is what you’ve achieved.If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it—it lets them get their work done in better ways—that’s exciting,” he explained.
