solution

Consider a father who is trying to discipline his child. The father insists that

the child must go with the rest of the family to visit their grandmother. The

child prefers to go to the movies with a friend. The father threatens to punish

the child if the child doesn’t visit the grandmother. If the child goes with the

family to visit the grandmother, both the child and the father receive one unit

of utility. If the child refuses to go to the grandmother’s house, and the father

punishes the child, the child receives one unit of utility, and the father receives

one unit of utility. If the child refuses to go and the father relents (does not

punish), the child receives two units of utility, and the father receives none.
