Who is Looking After the Shop?

A rich old shopkeeper is ill. All his family is in the room.

The old man opens his eyes and says, “Is Pete here?”

“Yes, I am here, Father.”

“And is Mary here?”

“Of course, I am here, Father.”

“And Mike, is he here, too?”

“Yes, dear, here I am.”

“Oh,” says the old man. “If you are all here, then who is looking after the shop?”
