movieguy Posted August 3, 2005 Report Posted August 3, 2005 Country School MRS. SMITH WAS THE SOLE TEACHER OF A ONE ROOM SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY. JOHNNY, A MEMBER OF THE FOURTH GRADE CLASS, ALWAYS HAD HIS HAND IN THE AIR READY TO ASK OR ANSWER ANY QUESTION. SHE ATTEMPTED TO DISCOURAGE JOHNNY FROM DOMINATING THE CLASS DISCUSSION WITHOUT AVAIL. SO IT WAS THAT SHE OFTEN IGNORED JOHNNY. THIS ONE DAY SHE ASKED THE FOURTH GRADE CLASS 'WHO CAN USE THE WORD 'DEFINITELY' IN A SENTENCE?' THE FIRST LITTLE GIRL ANSWERS, 'THE SKY IS DEFINITELY BLUE,' BUT THE TEACHER SAYS, 'SORRY AMY, BUT THE SKY CAN BE GRAY, OR ORANGE, OR PURPLE AND PINK.' A SECOND BOY ANSWERS, 'TREES ARE DEFINITELY GREEN.' THE TEACHER SAYS, 'SORRY TIMMY, BUT IN THE AUTUMN THE TREES ARE BROWN.' FEELING SORRY FOR LITTLE JOHNNY WHO HAD HELD UP HIS HAND CONTINUOUSLY ASKED HIM TO CREATE A SENTENCE. JOHNNY ANSWERED,'I DEFINITELY NEEDED TO USE THE TOILET SEVERAL MINUTES AGO BUT NOW IT'S TOO LATE.'
