It’s All in the Tone

Big brother came home with a long peacock’s feather after a school outing
to the zoo.

Kris wanted to hold it, but her brother refused saying that she would damage it.
But she continued to try and snatch it from him.

In frustration, Big Brother said sarcastically “Who has not seen a feather before!!”

Kris, totally missing the sarcastic tone, immediately put up her hand and
looked at her brother with hopeful eyes.

“Can I have the feather now?”
