父亲在哪Where's the father

Where is the father?

Two brothers were looking at some beautiful paintings². 

"Look," said³ the elder⁴ brother. "How nice these paintings are!" 

"Yes," said the younger⁵, "but in all these paintings there is only the mother and the children. Where is the father?"

The elder brother thought⁶ for a moment and then explained, "Obviously he was⁷ painting¹ the pictures."

　　兄弟俩在看一些漂亮的油画。

　　“看，”哥哥说，“这些画多漂亮呀！”

　　“是啊，”弟弟说道，“可是在所有这些画中，只有妈妈和孩子。那爸爸去哪儿了呢？” 

　　哥哥想了一会儿，然后解释道：“很明显，他当时正在画这些画呗。”
