　　"Certainly⁵."

　　"You didn't notice⁶ that the envelope does not have address and addressee's name on it?"

　　"I certainly saw⁷ nothing written on the envelope."

　　"Then why didn't you take it back?"

　　"I thought⁸ that you did² not write address and addressee, because you wouldn't let me know to whom⁹ you send the letter!"

　　有一天，父亲让八岁的儿子寄信。儿子接过信。父亲这时才想起他没有在信封上写地址与收件人名称。

　　儿子回来后，父亲问他：“你已经把信塞进信箱了吗?”

　　“当然。”

　　“你没注意到信封上没有地址和收件人的名字吗?”

　　“我当然看到信封上什么也没有。”

　　“那你为什么不把它拿回来?”

　　“我还以为你不写地址和收信人是因为你不想让我知道你要将这封信寄给谁!”
