Essay with Johnny

One day at the end of class Little Johnny's teacher asks thestudents to go home and think of a story, to be concluded withthe moral of that story. The following day the teacher asks forthe first volunteer to tell their story. Little Suzy raises herhand. "My dad owns a farm and every Sunday we load the chickeneggs on the truck and drive into town to sell them at the market.Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump and all the eggs flew out ofthe basket and onto the road." When the teacher asked for themoral of the story, Suzy replied, "Don't keep all your eggs inone basket." Little Lucy went next. "My dad owns a farm too.Every weekend we take the chicken eggs and put them in theincubator. Last weekend only 8 of the 12 eggs hatched." Again,the teacher asked for the moral of the story. Lucy replied,"Don't count your chickens before they hatch." Next up was LittleJohnny. "My uncle Ted fought in the Vietnam war, and his planewas shot down over enemy territory. He jumped out before itcrashed, but could only take a case of beer, a machine gun, and amachete. On the way down he drank the case of beer. Then helanded right in the middle of 100 Vietnamese soldiers. He shot 70with his machine gun, but then he ran out of bullets! So hepulled out his machete and killed 20 more. Then the blade on hismachete broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands."The teacher looked a little shocked. After clearing her throat,she asked what possible moral there could be to this story."Well," Johnny replied, "Don't screw with uncle Ted when he'sbeen drinking."
