Question

There was once a girl who was very quiet. She never said a word, not even “Mum” or “Dad”. Her parents were very worried. When she was three years old she still hadn’t said anything. When she was five, she still hadn’t said anything. The worried parents took her to the best doctors but none of them could find anything wrong with her. “Do you think our daughter will ever talk?” asked the mother. But all the doctors said, “We will just have to wait and see.” Time went by and the girl turned eight. Then one day she was eating dinner with her mother when she suddenly cried, “Yuk(难吃)! Not enough salt! Get me some more salt, please!” “Godness!” cried her mother. “You can talk! Why didn’ t you say anything all these years?” “Well,” said the girl, “There was never any need. Up till now everything tasted fine.”
