Peter said, “My dear father, I gave half of my money to a poor woman.” The father said nothing.
Bob said, “I saw a little girl fall into the river. Though I couldn’t swim, I took off my clothes, jumped into the river and pulled her out.” The father still said nothing.
Then, Mike told his story. “I saw a man sleeping at a very dangerous place! If he moved a little in his sleep, he would fall off the mountain. And the man was Ted. He once said he would kill me if he had a chance.” said Mike, “But I moved close to him and pulled him to a safe place.”
