A young boy answered the phone in a whisper, "Hello?"

The man at the other end asked to speak to his father. The boy replied in a whisper, "He can't come to the phone."

The man then asked to speak to his mother. He again whispered, "She's busy. She can't come to the phone either."

The man became confused and asked if anyone else was at the house with the boy. "Yes," he whispered. "The police and the firemen are here too."

When the man asked to speak to one of them, hoping to finally get an adult on the phone to find out what was going on, the boy again whispered, "They're busy too. They can't come to the phone either."

Finally the man asked the boy what his father, his mother, the police and the fire department were so busy doing that they could not come to the phone.

The boy whispered "They're looking for me."
