In a classroom of third graders, the teacher says to the kids, "Today class, we will be telling stories that have a moral to them" She explained what a moral to a story was and asked for any volunteers. Little Suzy raises her hand.
Suzy: " I live on a farm and we have a chicken that laid 12 eggs, we were excited to have 12 more chickens but only 6 of them hatched"
Teacher: "That's a good story, now what is the moral?
Suzy: " Don't count your chickens before they are hatched"
Teacher: "Very good Suzy, anyone else?
Ralph: "Yes teacher, I was carrying some eggs I bought for my mom in my bicycle basket one day and I crashed my bike and all the eggs broke"
Teacher: "That’s a nice story, what is the moral?"
Ralph: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
Teacher: " Very good Ralph, anyone else?"
Little Johnny: " Yes teacher, my Aunt Karen is in the army and when she was in the gulf war, she parachuted down with only a gun, 20 bullets, a knife, and a six-pack of beer. On her way down, she drank the six pack. When she landed, she shot 20 Iraqis and killed ten of them with her knife."
Teacher: "Very interesting Johnny, what is the moral to your story?
Little Johnny: "Don't mess with Aunt Karen when she's drunk"
