Joke 23
A young father was visiting an old neighbor. They were standing in the older man's garden and talking about children. The young man said， 'How strict should parents be with their children？'
The older man pointed to a string between a big， strong tree and a thin， young one.
'Please untie that string，' he said. The young man untied it， and the young tree bent over to one side.
'Now tie it again， please，' said the older man. 'But first pull the string tight so that the young tree is straight again.'
The young man did this. Then the older man said， 'There. It is the same with children. You must be strict with them， but sometimes you must untie the string to see how they are getting on. If they are not yet able to stand alone， you must tie the string tight again. But when you find that they are ready to stand alone， you can take the string away.'
