A Man and His Daughter
One day a man and his daughter were going out for a walk.
The man had put on a pair of odd shoes, one with a thick sole and one with
a thin sole.
As he came out to the street, he felt very uncomfortable.
Turning to his daughter, he said: "Why should one of my legs be longer than
the other day?"
The daughter looked at her father's legs and said, "You have put on two odd
shoes!"
When he heard this, the man was very happy and thought to himself: "What a
bright daughter I've got!" Then he asked his daughter to go back to the house
and got him another pair of shoes.
When the daughter went back to the house, all she could find was one shoes
with thick sole and one with thin sole.
Taking the shoes to show her father, she said, "It's no use changing! These
shoes are also odd, one with a thick sole and one with a thin sole."
The man listened and thought to himself: "It can't be helped. I might as well
wear the ones I have on now."
So they went for their walk.

Communication
You speak, write a letter, make a telephone call. Your words carry a message.
People communicate with words.
Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows
you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something
or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No".
You nod and people know you are saying "Yes".
Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop
helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps
you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have
you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive
messages from them all the time?
People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings
to tell about beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things.
Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and
also about people and their ideas.
