aunt Jill
The teacher of class 5 set the children some homework. They had to
ask
their parents to tell them a story with a moral, to tell in the class
the
next day.
First up was Ashley, who said,” My father’s a farmer and we have a
lot
of egg-laying chickens. one time we were taking the eggs to market in a
basket on the front seat of the car. We hit a big bump in the road and
all
the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess.”
“What’s the moral of that story?” asks the teacher.
“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!” said Ashley.
“Very good” said the teacher.Next little Sarah 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 only got ten chicks, and the moral of that story
is,’
Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched!'”
“That is a fine story, Sarah.” said the teacher.“Michael, do you have a story to tell?” asked the teacher.
“Yes, my Daddy told me this story about my aunt Jill. Aunt Jill was
a
flight engineer in the Gulf War, and her plane got hit. she had to bail
out
over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine
gun
and a machete. she drank the whiskey on the way down, so it wouldn’t
break,
and then she landed right in the middle of a hundred enemy troops. She
killed seventy of them with the machine gun, when she ran out of
bullets.
then she killed twenty more with the machete, until the blade broke.
And
then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.”
“Good heavens,” said the horrified teacher, “What kind of moral did
your
daddy tell you from that horrible story?”
“Stay away from my aunt jill when she’s been drinking!”
