Have you ever listened to young children talking? They say many interesting things, like 'my dad's car
is bigger than your dad's.' and 'My mum is smarter than yours.'
There were three little boys, Harry, Ted and Gavin. They were always boasting (自吹自擂). Gavin
was the worst. Everything in his home was always the best or the biggest or the most expensive.
One day when they were walking to school, Harry said, 'My father has a bath twice a week.' Ted
spoke next, 'That's nothing. Having a bath twice a week means your father is dirty. My father has a bath
every day, sometimes twice a day.'
Ted looked at Gavin. Now it was his turn. But what could he say? He couldn't say that his father had
a bath three times a day. He walked in silence. Ted smiled to Harry, and Harry smiled back. They were
sure that for once they had won.
They reached the school gate. Still Gavin said nothing.
One day had gone. On their way home, Ted said to Harry, 'We've won.' But he spoke too early,
because Gavin said suddenly, 'My father's so clean that he doesn't have to have a bath at all.'
