A young fellow by
the name of Sammy liked to hang out at Mom and Pop's Grocery
Store. Pop didn't know what Sammy's problem was, but the other
boys would tease him all the time, calling him Slow Sammy, and
punching him on the shoulder as they passed. To mock him for being
slow, they would offer him a dime and a nickel, telling him he
could have just one. They said he always took the nickel because
it was bigger.
One day after
Sammy took the nickel, Pop pulled him to one side and said,
"Son, don't you know they're making fun of you? They think
you don't know that the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are
you really grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?"
"No,"
Sammy said, "but if I took the dime they'd quit doing
it!" |
