He saw a bee hovering around a flower. He ran over to it, and tried to play with it, but in doing so, he killed it. The father wanted to teach his son a lesson, so he said, "Son, because you killed that bee, you cannot have honey for a week." The boy agreed that that was a just punishment. They walked a little further into the woods, and the little boy saw a butterfly fluttering about. He ran over to it, and tried to play with it and hug it, and accidentally squished it. The father wanted to teach his son a lesson, so he said, "Son, because you killed that butterfly, you cannot have butter for a week." The boy agreed that that was a just punishment. They went on home, and when they entered the kitchen, they saw the mother stomping around the kitchen, exclaiming "These damm cockroaches, I'm going to kill every last one of them." The boy looked up at his father, and said, "Should you tell her, Dad, or should I?"
