In the morning, the father knocks on the son's bedroom door:
— Wake up, my son. Wake up, it's time for you to go to school.
From inside, shuddering, the son replied:
— Oh, I'm not going to school today. And I'm not going for three reasons: first, because I'm dead sleepy; second, because I hate that school; third, because I can't stand those boys anymore.
And the father answers from outside:
- You have to go. And you have to go, exactly, for three reasons: first, because you have a duty to do; second, because you are already 45 years old; third, because you are the principal of the college.
