A Bitter Truth

"Babies pop into this world in the usual way, and from that moment the babies' families have to do their best to guess what might make the baby happy, like guessing the answer to a riddle. But many riddles are difficult to guess, which is why one sees so many babies crying their little eyes out, as if they wished they could simply pop back out of the world the way they came."
