While not that close, you're definitely on the right track! Someone was definitely told that all they was "something" and wisdom, but that "something" was not "success". Having said that, the word "success" is indeed in the joke. | ||

Success = Finding the will of God and doing it. Well, yes, but not in the context of this puzzle. HINT in whitetext: The son is very, very young, and the father is trying to teach him something. What would a youngster do if he doesn't understand terms and/or concepts? | ||

Well, using your hint above, most small children try to connect the word or concept they don't understand to one that they do. However, they may not pick a very good replacement. (Pontius was the pilot on Mary and Joseph's flight to Egypt, frex.) Is this what happened here? |
