(A) How Wars Begin

The Stevenson family was having dinner. The family ate without talking for several minutes, then Tom said, “Daddy, do you know how wars begin?”

Mr. Stevenson thought for a moment, then he said, “Yes, I think so. I’ll give you an example. We’ll take two countries, Britain and Ameri ca, If Britain fought with America...”

Mrs. Stevenson laughed. “That’s crazy,” she said to her husband. “Britain and America have been friends for over two hundred years. They’ll never fight.”

“Yes, I know that,” Mr. Stevenson said. “I was only using them as an example.”

“But they’re not a good example,” Mrs. Stevenson said. “France and Germany are a better example.”

“Britain and A m erica are the best example.” Mr. Stevenson replied. “They are friends now but they were enemies in the past. They fought a war!”

“But that was a long time ago.” Mrs. Stevenson said. “You should use more modern examples.”

“And you should let me answer my son’s question,” Mr. Stevenson said angrily.
