A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced, “Dad, because today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old, I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started making good on his word (履行诺言), the father shouted, “Andrew, don’t do it now. I’m too busy!”

The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said, “You can finish later.” The boy said nothing but quietly walked away. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t.
