~*~Imagination~*~
Esther Cohen was testing her 2nd grade class's imagination.
She
put her hand in a box,
removed something without the class seeing what
it was,
put her hand behind and asked
"Class I am holding something in
my hand,
its round, red and is edible,
what is it? Several hands went up.
Esther said, "Yes Robert".
Robert, "is it an apple?"
Esther replied, "No Robert, who else can try?"
Peter called out, "its an orange."
The young teacher said, "No."
James shouted, "it's a tomato!"
"Very good James, that's correct",
the teacher answered.
Little Johnny's hand shot up as he said
"Miss Cohen, I also want to test
the class's imagination"
Esther, reluctant to call on Johnny due to his propensity to use
foul language,
said "okay, go ahead".
Johnny putting his hand in his trousers pocket says,
"I am holding
something in my hand,
its three inches long and has a head, what is it?"
The class was quite and no one had their hand up.
The teacher thought
quickly and said in a disgusted voice,
"Johnny sit down and keep quite,
I don't want any of your silly jokes."
Johnny,
smiling removes his hand from his pocket and says,
"it's a match
stick, Miss Cohen you have a lot of imagination."
