"Donald! What is the square root of a hundred and forty-four?"



The boy turned his attention to the teacher with sleepy-eyed indifference.



"I'm sorry, what did you say?"



"What is the square root of a hundred and forty-four?"



"Do I know the square root of a hundred and forty-four? Is that what you're asking me? Of course I do. It's absurd that you would even ask me that."
