>>         A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment:
>>         To get their parent to tell them a story with a moral at the end
>>
>>         The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell
>>         their stories.*
>>         *
>>         Ashley said, 'My father's a farmer and we have a lot of
>>         egg-laying hens.
>>         One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the
>>         front seat
>>         of the car when we hit a big bump in the road and all the
>>         eggs got broken.'
>>
>>         'What's the morale of that story?' asked the teacher.*
>>         *'Don't put all your eggs in one basket!'
>>         'Very good,' said the teacher.
>>
>>         Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, 'Our family are
>>         farmers too.
>>         But we raise chickens for the meat market. One day we had a
>>         dozen eggs, but
>>         when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral
>>         to this story is,
>>         'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched'.'
>>         'That was a fine story Sarah.'
>>
>>         ’Little Johnny, do you have a story to share?'
>>         'Yes. My daddy told me this story about my Aunty Barbara.
>>         Aunty Barbara
>>         was a flight engineer on a planein the War and her plane got
>>         hit. She had to
>>         bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of
>>         whisky, a machine
>>         gun and a machete.
>>
>>         She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break
>>         and then she landed
>>         right in the middle of 100 enemy troops.**
>>
>>         She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran
>>         out of bullets.**
>>
>>         Then she killed twenty more with the machete until the blade
>>         broke.
>>
>>         And then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.'*
>>
>>         *'Good heavens,' said the horrified teacher, 'what kind of
>>         moral did your daddy tell
>>         you from that horrible story?'*
>>         *
>>         'Stay away from Aunty Barbara when she's drunk.'
