A lot of boys and girls in modern countries are wearing the same kinds clothes, and many of them have long hair. So it is often difficult to tell whether they are boys or girls.
One day an old gentleman went for a walk in a park in Washington. When he was tired, he sat down on a bench. There was a young girl standing on the other side of the pond.
"My goodness!" the old man said to the person who was sitting next to him on the bench. "Do you see that the person with the loose pants and long hair? Is it a boy or a girl ?"
"A girl" said his neighbor. "She is my daughter".
"Oh!" the old gentleman said quickly. "Please forgive me, I did not know that you were her mother"
"I am not" said the person. "I am her father."
