On my birthday my class prepared a surprise for me. When I entered the darkened room, they all shouted "Happy Birthday!" I sat on a specially decorated chair and watched as four students struggled in carrying a large and apparently heavy box. Muscles straining, they heaved it onto my lap, proclaiming excitedly that it was exactly what I wanted. The students gathered around me, and I opened my present.
"It's empty!" I exclaimed.
"No, it's not!" they objected. "It's filled with peace and quiet."
And with that, they fell silent.
