Assignment
The teacher gave her fifth grade class an
assignment:
Go home and get their parents to tell them a
story
with a moral at the end of it.
The next day the kids came back and one by one
began
to tell their stories:
Ashley said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot
of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs
to market in a basket on the front seat of the pickup
when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs
went flying and broke and made a mess."
"And what's the moral of the story?" asked the
teacher.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"
"Very good," said the teacher.
Next little Sarah raised her hand and said,
"Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens
for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one
time, but
when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and
the
moral to this story is, 'don't count your chickens
before they're hatched.'"
"That was a fine story Sarah."
"Michael, do you have a story to share?"
"Yes, ma'am, my daddy told me this story about my
Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in
Desert
Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bailout over
enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of
whiskey, a machinegun and a machete.
She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't
break and then she landed right in the middle of 100
enemy troops.
She killed seventy of them with the machine gun
until
she ran out of bullets.
Then she killed twenty more with the machete until
the
blade broke.
And then she killed the last ten with her bare
hands."
"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what
kind
of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible
story?"
"Stay the Hell away from Aunt Karen when she's been
drinking."
