FOURTH GRADE TEACHER

THE FOURTH-GRADE TEACHER

HAD TO LEAVE THE ROOM

FOR A FEW MINUTES.

WHEN SHE RETURNED,

SHE FOUND THE CHILDREN

IN PERFECT ORDER.

EVERYBODY WAS SITTING

ABSOLUTELY QUIET.

SHE WAS SHOCKED AND

STUNNED AND SAID,

"I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING

LIKE IT BEFORE.

THIS IS WONDERFUL.

BUT, PLEASE TELL ME,

WHAT CAME OVER ALL OF YOU?

WHY ARE YOU SO

WELL-BEHAVED AND QUIET?" 

FINALLY, AFTER MUCH URGING,

A LITTLE GIRL SAID,

"WELL, ONE TIME YOU SAID

THAT IF YOU EVER CAME BACK

AND FOUND US QUIET,

YOU WOULD DROP DEAD."
