A LESSON IN MORALS
Added on: 14th Jun 2014
ONE DAY AT THE END OF CLASS,
LITTLE JOHNNY'S TEACHER ASKS THE CLASS
TO GO HOME AND THINK OF A STORY TO BE CONCLUDED
WITH THE MORAL OF THAT STORY.
THE FOLLOWING DAY THE TEACHER ASKS FOR
THE FIRST VOLUNTEER TO TELL THEIR STORY.
LITTLE SUZY RAISES HER HAND.
"MY DAD OWNS A FARM AND EVERY SUNDAY WE
LOAD THE CHICKEN EGGS ON THE TRUCK AND DRIVE INTO
TOWN TO SELL THEM AT THE MARKET. WELL, ONE SUNDAY
WE HIT A BIG BUMP AND ALL THE EGGS FLEW OUT OF
THE BASKET AND ONTO THE ROAD."
WHEN THE TEACHER ASKED FOR THE MORAL OF THE
STORY, SUZY REPLIED,
"DON'T KEEP ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET."
LITTLE LUCY WENT NEXT.
"MY DAD OWNS A FARM TOO. EVERY WEEKEND WE TAKE
THE CHICKEN EGGS AND PUT THEM IN THE INCUBATOR.
LAST WEEKEND ONLY EIGHT OF THE 12 EGGS HATCHED."
AGAIN, THE TEACHER ASKED FOR THE MORAL OF THE STORY.
LUCY REPLIED,
"DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH."
NEXT UP WAS LITTLE JOHNNY.
"MY UNCLE TED FOUGHT IN THE VIETNAM WAR
AND HIS PLANE WAS SHOT DOWN OVER ENEMY TERRITORY.
HE JUMPED OUT BEFORE IT CRASHED BUT COULD ONLY
TAKE A CASE OF BEER, A MACHINE GUN AND A MACHETE.
ON THE WAY DOWN, HE DRANK THE CASE OF BEER.
THEN HE LANDED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF 100
VIETNAMESE SOLDIERS. HE SHOT 70 WITH HIS MACHINE GUN,
BUT THEN HE RAN OUT OF BULLETS! SO HE PULLED OUT HIS
MACHETE AND KILLED 20 MORE. THEN THE BLADE ON HIS
MACHETE BROKE, SO HE KILLED THE LAST TEN
WITH HIS BARE HANDS."
THE TEACHER LOOKED A LITTLE SHOCKED.
AFTER CLEARING HER THROAT, SHE ASKED WHAT POSSIBLE
MORAL THERE COULD BE TO THIS STORY.
"WELL," JOHNNY REPLIED,
"DON'T F**K WITH UNCLE TED WHEN HE'S BEEN DRINKING."
