A man had three sons. One was angry. One was sad and silly. One was clever and a bit angry.

The man put a bit of orange peel in his mouth and fell down. The angry son died of lots of bullets. The sad and silly son died of some bullets because the clever and a bit angry son told a man to put the bullets inside him. The clever and a bit angry one died of sad.

(Godfather Trilogy)
