One of my favorite cartoons is a Walt Disney production. Donald Duck's nephews bought him a box of cigars for his birthday but hid it from him as they wanted to surprise him. Donald became suspicious of his nephews when he saw them acting strangely. He followed them secretly to their hideout and rummaged through their things.

When Donald Duck found the box of cigars, he jumped to the conclusion that his nephews were smoking in secret. He was furious and rounded up his nephews. In his anger, he refused to listen to his nephews' explanations. He stuffed three cigars into each of their mouths and forced them to smoke till they nearly went blue in the face. In contrast, there was a satisfied smile on Donald's face. He thought he was punishing them justly for being naughty.

When Donald came to the last cigar, he saw a note attached to it that said: "Happy birthday, Uncle Donald!" It was then that Donald remembered that his birthday was drawing near. Only then did he piece things together in his mind. He was so ashamed of himself that his face turned as red as a tomato. He felt so small that he shrank to the size of a thumb !
