Story With A Moral


The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment, to 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 telling their 
stories.

Ashley said, "My father's a farmer and we have lots of egg laying 
hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the 
front seat of the car. We stopped suddenly and the basket went flying 
and the eggs all broke and made a mess."

"What's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher. 
 
Don't put all your eggs in one basket", replied Ashley.

"Very good," said the teacher.

Next little Susan 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 got only ten live chicks, and 
the moral  to this story is don't count your chickens before they 
hatch."

"That was a fine story Susan," said the teacher.

Then the teacher turned her attention to Bobby. 
"Do you have a story,Bobby?"
"Yes, ma'am. My daddy told me a story about my Aunt Karen. 
Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in Desert Storm and her plane 
got hit. She  parachuted out and all she had with her was a bottle 
of whiskey, a  machine gun and a  machete.  She drank the whiskey 
on the way down so it  wouldn't break.  Then  she landed right in 
the middle of 100 enemy troops.  She killed 70 of them with the 
machine gun until she ran out of bullets. Then  she killed 20 more 
with the machete until the blade broke. And THEN  she  killed the 
last 10 with her bare hands!"

"Good Heavens!" said the horrified teacher. "What kind of moral 
did your daddy tell you from that story?"

"Stay the hell away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking."
