the teacher gave the children a homework assignment. They were to talk with their family, and come back monday with a story about their family that taught a moral.
On Monday, the children got up to tell their stories.
First up, a boy said "My uncle has a farm. On some days, we go and collect eggs from the hens, and put them under a warming lamp to make them hatch. In a few weeks, most of the eggs hatch into baby chicks, but some dont."
The teacher said "well, thats a nice story. And what moral does that teach you?"
The boy said "Dont count your chickens before they hatch!"
Next up, a girl said "My uncle also has a farm, he collects eggs to sell at the market. One day he put all his eggs into a big basket to deliver them. On the way to market, he hit a bump and the basket fell over, ruining his eggs."
The teacher said "good! And what moral does that teach you?"
The girl said "Dont put all your eggs in one basket!"
Third, a boy gets up to speak. "My uncle was a fighter pilot in Viet Nam. One day, his plane got shot and was going to crash. So he ejected with his emergency supplies of a case of beer, a machine gun, and a machete. After he landed, he drank the beer, and was attacked by soldiers from North VietNam. So he shot as many as he could with his machine gun, then faught his way back to the south using his machete. When he finally made it to the south, he was greeted as a war hero!"
The teacher said "wow, thats a great story, but what moral does that teach?"
The boy said "Dont fuck with my uncle when he's been drinking!"
