　　Once my six year old son asked me: mom can you tell me why a human baby takes so long to walk on its own, while the young ones of animals walk immediately after birth?

　　有一次，我6岁的儿子问我：妈妈，你能告诉我为什么人类的小宝宝要那么久才学会走路，但是那些动物宝宝生下来就会走路了呢？

　　I was still thinking and trying to give him the most appropriate answer, he came back with his simple answer almost immediately after he questioned: because humans have two legs, so we have to learn balancing like riding a bicycle, but animals have four legs, hence they stand firmly within minutes after birth。

　　我一直在想啊想，试图给他个合适的答案，他却是问了之后马上告诉我了一个再简单不过的回答：因为人类只有两条腿，所以我们要像学骑自行车一样平衡自己，但是动物有四条腿，这样他们生来就能平稳站立了。

　　Valuable lesson learnt from a five year old。

　　从我五岁孩子身上学到的珍贵的一课：

　　Little girl: Why do we call the man who picks up garbage bag from our home everyday as kachrawala(garbage man)？

　　Mother: Because he collects kachra(garbage)！

　　Little girl: How come he is kachrawala(garbage man). He collects garbage and keeps the environment clean. He should be called safaiwala(cleanliness man) and it is we who spread more garbage so we should be  called kachrawala (garbage man)。

　　小女孩：每天从我们家收垃圾的人，我们为什么要叫他“垃圾工”？

　　母亲：因为他收垃圾呀！

　　小女孩：怎么叫他垃圾工呢。他清除垃圾，让环境变整洁了。他应该被叫作“清洁工”呀，我们这些丢垃圾的人才应该被叫“垃圾工”呢！
