תָּם מַה הוּא אוֹמֵר? מַה זֹּאת? וְאָמַרְתָּ אֵלָיו: בְּחֹזֶק יָד הוֹצִיאָנוּ יְיָ מִמִּצְרַיִם מִבֵּית עֲבָדִים:

What does the simple one say? "What's this?" And you should tell him: With a strong hand Adonai took us out of Egypt, from slavery.

A Question: Is it enough to give a simple answer to a simple child? 

A Second Question: The child that does not know how to ask - is he unable to ask

because he does not know or because he has not yet had the chance to ask?
