My Son

This is the story I had read on a book before.
After reading, I had to think about myself for a while.

One day, a father and his son were involved in a car accident.
The father was dead at that point, but luckily, the son was alive and carried to a hospital soon.
The hospital that he was carried had a doctor. The doctor was world famous for surgery and an authority.

The operation started immediately.
The doctor looked at child's face, and said...

"Oh... This is my son..."

I give you a question.
What relation is there between this doctor and this child?
The answer will come at tomorrow's post.


「わたしの息子」

これは以前ある本で読んだ話だ。
読んだ後、しばらく自分自信について考えさせられた。

ある日、父親とその息子が交通事故に巻き込まれた。
父親はその場で無くなったが、幸いなことに息子はまだ息があり、すぐに病院に運ばれた。
彼が運ばれた病院には一人の医者がいた。その医者は、外科医学では世界的に有名であり、権威でもあった。

すぐに手術は始まった。
医者は子供の顔を見た。そして言った。

「これは・・・わたしの息子・・・」

質問です。
この医者とこの子供はどのような関係でしょうか?
答えは明日の投稿で。

I guess:
1.The son was also dead after carried to the hospital and his father who dead before, think he is alive.(i mean the father`s spirit)
2. The son had 2 father (Crazy answer)

The Doctor is his Mother

Professor Preposterous said...

The doctor's exclamation is "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son!"

Most people in the English speaking countries assume doctors are men, so they miss the obvious conclusion that the doctor is the boy's mother.

I don't know about you... but to me (and most of my friends) the answer was too damn easy. We first played by this riddle when we were in seventh grade... which was something like 10 years ago... O_o

I guess, you're saved from the trouble of posting the answer in the next post... :P

Aez, i think the D0ct0r must be the b9y's m0ther. 0r else, th0se d0ct0r's might be the spirit 0f the b0y's father :) S0o sad.. Why did the father died?? :( huhuhuuuu...

The man said...

Ha ha, Oh, ok. It's his mother. I was thinking maybe the boy died too, and the doctor was God. "this is my son". It would make sense kinda.

Dr S. said...

Yes, the doctor is his mother. I have heard this one before, quite a long time ago, and I always remember it as I am a FEMALE doctor. I remember it as it indicates to me how the world is still so caught up in prejudices against women and their capabilities. Even now, when i am wearing my white coat and consulting with a patient - I get called "nurse" or "sister". I've learned to ignore it.

ok, most people seems to know the answer to the riddle...so if I may, can i correct your English?

...story I read IN a book...
...I had to think about IT myself...
...the father DIED at that point...
...the hospital he was carried TO had a doctor...

wasn't much to correct. I reckon your English is so good. and if I have done some wrong correction, I apologize. English is not my first language either...

your blog is so cool!!
