"Encyclopaedia" joke

A is sad to see the decline in the habit or reading. Rich Indians who can afford to buy books rarely have any in their homes. Their children spend hours stupidly gaping at their television sets. The blame must rest squarely on the shoulders of the parents. It reminds me of a dialogue between the mother and father of a child at school: "Our Bobby's teacher has written that Bobby should have an encyclopaedia."
"Encyclopaedia?" queried the father angrily, "Why can't he walk to school like the other boys do?"
