A father was scolding his son who didn`t do his homework. “When Lincoln was your age, he walked 10 miles to school every day and studied by the light of the fire” “So what? When Kennedy was your age, he was president!”
아버지가 숙제를 잘 하지 않는 아들을 꾸짖고 있었다. “링컨이 너만한 나이었을 때는 매일 학교까지 10마일을 걸어 다녔고 장작 불빛으로 공부를 했어”라고 아버지가 말했다. “그래서요? 케네디가 아버지 나이였을 때는 대통령이었어요!”
