morals

[william williams]

A teacher gave her fifth class an assignment.

They were to ask 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 to tell their stories.

Kathy said, ‘My father is 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 our ute when we hit a bad pothole and the eggs went flying everywhere and broke and made a mess.”
“And the moral of this story is do not put all your eggs in one basket!”

“Very good” said the teacher, “Now how about you Lucy?”

“Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market.
We had a dozen eggs one time but we only raised ten chickens.”
“The moral of this story is, don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.

“Very good, and what about you young John?”

“Yes teacher I have one that my daddy told me.”

“ He was telling me about Aunty Karen.”

“Did you know that she was a flight engineer in the Desert Storm Campaign?”

“She was in this plane when it got shot, and caught fire, and she had to bail out over enemy territory.”
“She grabbed a bottle of whisky, a machine gun, and a machete. She drank the whisky while floating down from the sky so as the bottle would not break, and when she landed it was right in the middle of one hundred enemy troops.”
“She killed 70 of them with the machine gun before it ran out of bullets, then she killed 20 with the machete before the blade broke.“
“And then, good heavens she killed the last ten with her bare hands.”

“My god! “ said the teacher. “What kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?”

“Don’t muck around with AUNTY KAREN when she’s been drinking!”
