[J-77] What Is Cared About? 在乎的是什么？
A young mother carried her suckling to a restaurant. The hungry baby started crying and the mother immediately bared her bosom and suckled it then and there. A waitress caught sight of this, came over, and advised her not to do the suckling.
“What's wrong, may I know?” the mother shouted out with chagrin. “Do you think it odd to feed a starving baby? Do you think it indecent to give a child the breast?”
The waitress pointed to a sign in the restaurant and explained: “Madam, we only forbid anyone to bring in and eat anything other than what we serve here.”
