" Mother: Alfred dear, I shall soon be leaving you and your brothers and sisters. Let me give you some advice.
Officer [sadly]: Yes, Mother.
Mother: It's just this. Never strive with God.
Officer: What do you mean, Mother?
Mother: You mustn't go round feeling life has been unjust to you.
Officer: But when people do treat me unjustly?
Mother: You're thinking of the time you were unjustly punished for stealing a penny that was later found?
Officer: Yes. And that injustice warped my whole life.
Mother: I know. But now go to that cupboard -
Officer [embarrassed]: You know, then? It's -
Mother: The Swiss Family Robinson. Which -
Officer: Don't go on.
Mother: Which your brother got punished for - and which you'd torn up and hidden.
Officer: Fancy that cupboard still standing there after twenty years. We've moved so often, and my mother died ten years ago.
Mother: Well, what of it? You always have to ask questions about everything. That way you'll ruin the best life has to offer. "
