Tom is a little boy of only seven years old. One day, he goes to the cinema for the first time. He buys a ticket and goes in. However, after just two or three minutes, he comes out, buys a second ticket, and goes in again. A few minutes later, he comes out once more to buy a third ticket. Shortly after that, he emerges yet again and asks for another ticket.
A girl at the ticket counter asks him, "Why are you buying so many tickets? How many friends are you meeting?"
"No," Tom replies, "I have no friends here. But a large woman always stops me at the door and cuts my ticket in half."
