THE DRAWING GAME


THE DRAWING GAME

Mrs Smith, a third grade teacher wanted the class to play 
a game where one pupil starts drawing on the board then, 
one by one, other pupils add to it.  She thinks about the 
game and decides not to start with Johnny Spinosi because 
he is so naughty and always has some "unusual" picture in 
mind.   She instead decides to start with Jane.  Jane goes up 
to the chalk board and says:

Jane: "This is a house"
  
                   /\
                 /    \
               /        \
             /            \
            I              I
            I              I
            I              I
            I              I
            
The teacher replies, "Good, Jane!" and asks Peter to draw next.
Peter goes to the board and says "This is the front door to the house"
 
                   /\
                 /    \
               /        \
             /            \
            I              I
            I     __       I
            I    I  I      I
            I    I_ I      I
  
  
The teacher replies, "Very good, Peter" and calls on Mary
next.  Mary goes to the front of the classroom and says,
"This is snow on the roof of the house"

               /UU\
              /    \

            I   __   I
            I  I  I  I
            I  I_ I  I
  
The teacher says "Very nice, Mary" and calls on Stevie
Stevie goes to the chalkboard and says, "And this is the
sun over the house."
  
                 \I/
                > O <
                 /I\
                  /\
                 /UU\
               /      \
             /          \
            I            I
            I     __     I
            I    I  I    I
            I    I_ I    I
  
  
The teacher replies "very nice, Stevie" and thinks to herself
that there is not much damage that Johnny can do with this
picture now so she asks Johnny to come to the board.
Johnny walks up to the chalkboard and says, "And this is my
dad, trying to pick up the soap when he dropped it in the shower."
