Johnny, aged 5, was told by his mother he must finish his breakfast porridge. He said he didn't want to. His mother replied, You must finish it. If you dont, Godwill be very angry/ She went into the kitchen to wash up, leaving Johnny looking with sullen determination at the porridge. Outside it was raining and suddenly there was a heavy roll of thunder. Johnny's mother came back into the room and found him eating his porridge as quickly as he could and muttering to himself, 'All that fuss for a small plate of porridge'.
