English Original
A young couple grew anxious about their four-year-old son, who had not yet spoken. They consulted specialists, but the doctors found nothing wrong.
One morning at breakfast, the boy suddenly blurted out, "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."

“嗯，直到现在，”男孩说，“一切都很好啊。”
