Read:
One morning my father invited me to take a walk in the woods and I gladly accepted.
He stopped in a clearing and after a short silence asked me:
"Apart from the birds singing, do you hear anything else?"
I listened for a few seconds and replied:
"I hear a cart noise."
- That's right! said my father. It's an empty cart…
I asked my father:
"How can you know the cart is empty if we haven't seen it yet?"
"Why," my father replied. — it is very easy to know that a cart is empty because of the noise. The emptier the cart, the more noise it makes.
I became an adult and, even today, when I see a person talking too much, inopportunely, interrupting everyone's conversation, I have the impression of hearing my father's voice saying:
— The emptier the cart, the more noise it makes...
