One day Mr Robinson saw a lady in the street with ten children. He was very surprised because all the children were wearing the same clothes — white caps, dark blue coats and grey trousers.
‘Are all those children yours?’ he asked the mother.
‘Yes, they are,’ she answered.
‘Do you always dress them in the same clothes?’ asked Mr Robinson.
‘Yes,’ answered the mother. ‘When we had only four children, we dressed them in the same clothes because we did not want to lose any of them. It was easy to see our children when they were among other children, because they were all wearing the same clothes. And now, when we have ten, we dress them like this because we do not want to take other children home too by mistake. When there are other children among ours, it is easy to see them, because their clothes are
different.’
