    "Are all these children yours?" he asks the woman.

    "Yes, they are." she answers.

    "Do you always dress them in the same clothes ?" asks Mr. Brown.

    "Yes," answers the mother. "When we have four children, we dress them in the same clothes because we don' t want to lose any of them. It is easy to see our children among other children because they are all wearing the same clothes.
