A Finnish couple from Oulu; after many years conceived a boy Juhani. But Mr and Mrs Korhonen were disappointed that young Juhani never spoke. One day, when he was six, they were all seated at the breakfast table when Juhani spoke: "Mama, Papa, this porridge is too cold". Astonished, his parents asked: "but why have you never spoken up to now?" Juhani gazed back and replied: "there was no need, up till now everything has been satisfactory".
