They remained sitting in the sitting room,the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window,the father just about to take his cup,when the crash came,right there in the sitting room.Something was hopelessly broken.

It doesn't matter!'' The father started to say something.Then he said in a low voice,"Sorry I touched it and it fell." "It doesn't matter,"the host said. Later,when they left the house,the daughter said,"Daddy,did you touch it?'' "No.But it stood so close to me." "But you didn't touch it.I saw your reflection in the window .You were sitting perfectly still." The father laughed."Then how would you explain the cause of its fall?" "The thermos fell by itself , The floor is uneven. It wasn't steady when Mr. Li put it there. Daddy,why did you say that?" "That won't do,girl.It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down.There are things which people accept less true it sounds."
