A boy and his father were walking in the mountains.

He got angry at the answer，so he shouted，"Foolish！＂ He received the answer，"Foolish！”
He looked at his father and asked，“What’s going on?" The father smiled and said，"My son，listen.”And then he shouted to the mountain，"1 love you！”The voice answered，“I love you!”Again the man cried，"You are the best！”The voice answered，“You are the best！”
