Johnny Part VI
One day in class the teacher brought a bag full of fruit. "Now
class, I'm
going to reach into the bag and describe a piece of fruit, and you
tell
what fruit I'm talking about. Okay, first: it's round, plumb and
red." Of
course, Johnny raised his hand high, but the teacher, wisely
ignored him
and picked Deborah, who promptly answered "An apple." The teacher
replied,
"No Deborah, it's a beet, but I like your thinking." Now for the
second.
It's soft, fuzzy, and colored red and brownish." Well, Johnny is
hopping
up
and down in his seat trying to get the teacher to call on him. But
she
skips him again and calls on Billy. "Is it a peach?" Billy asks.
"No,
Billy, I'm afraid it's a potato. But I like your thinking," the
teacher
replys. Here's another: it's long, yellow, and fairly hard." By now
Johnny
is about to explode as he waves his hand frantically. The teacher
skips
him
again and calls on Sally. "A banana," she says. "No," the teacher
replies,
"it's a squash, but I like your thinking." Johnny is kind of
irritated
now,
so he speaks up loudly. "Hey, I've got one for you teacher; let me
put my
hand in my pocket. Okay, I've got it: it's round, hard, and it got
a head
on it." "Johnny!" she cries. "That's disgusting!" "Nope," answers
Johnny,
"it's a quarter, but I like your thinking!
