Why? Banta and his son went fishing one day. After a couple of hours the son started getting bored, so he started thinking about the world around him. Out of his curiosity, he started asking his father a few questions. “How does this boat float?” Banta thought for a moment, then replied, “Dont rightly know, son.” The boy returned to his contemplation, but soon came up with another one, “How do fish breath underwater?” Once again Banta replied, “Dont rightly know, son.” A little later the boy asked Banta, “Why is the sky blue?” Again, Banta replied, “Dont rightly know, son.” Worried he was going to annoy his father, he said, “Dad, do you mind my asking you all of these questions?” Banta immediately assured him, “Of course not, son. If you dont ask questions, youll never learn anything!”
