- David! Is everything okay? And what's that on your hand?
- Yeah, mom I'm alright. I just had this little splinter and when I took it out it started bleeding and now it's stinging.
- While David's mother is helping him bandage his finger, he says something that had made someone in his family very, very angry...

- Here, David, let me help you put this cloth around your finger. It will make it feel better and stop bleeding.

- Be quiet, boy. Everyone in this room heard you. You'll certainly make it no better lying....
- No, father. I only said if I had another hand...
