"Daddy what does ALTERNATIVE mean?"a little boy asked his father .
The man sat his son down and began to explain:“Imagine u r a young man and want to start a business .One day u decide to buy a hen.The hen starts to lay eggs.In time some chicks hatch and u now have a lot of chickens .U r rich,u own a chicken farm,cars,equipment,horses,a nice house…”
“But daddy i want to know what “ALTERNATIVE” means”
“Yes,son.thats what i’m triying to explain.So
ur a rich man now,but one day a huge flood washes ur farm away .You lose everything and ur chickens drown b’coz the stupid birds can’t swim.”
"What about “ALTERNATIVE"daddy?”
"The alternative ,my son is “DUCKS”
