A young couple was becoming anxious about their four-year-old son， who had not yet talked. They took him to specialists， but the doctors found nothing wrong with him.

Then one morning at breakfast the boy suddenly blurted， “Mom， the toast is burned.”

“You talked！ You talked！” shouted his mother， “I’m so happy！ But why has it taken this long.”

“Well， up till now，” said the boy， “things have been okay.”

一對(duì)年輕的夫婦對(duì)于他們四歲的兒子仍然不會(huì)說(shuō)話這件事非常著急。他們帶他去看專家，但是醫(yī)生們找不出任何不正常的地方。

之后有一天早上，這個(gè)男孩突然說(shuō)道：“媽媽，面包烤煳了?！?/p>

“你說(shuō)話了！你說(shuō)話了！”他的媽媽嚷道，“我真高興！但是為什么要我們等這么長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間呢？”

“嗯，直到現(xiàn)在，”男孩說(shuō)，“每件事都很正常啊?！?/p>
