REDUCTION IN APPRECIATION
Lucy asks Charlie Brown to help with her homework. “I’ll be eternally grateful,” she promises. “Fair enough. I’ve never had anyone be eternally grateful before,” replied Charlie. “Just subtract 4 from 10 to get how many apples the farmer had left.” Lucy says, “That’s it! That’s it! I have to be eternally grateful for that? I was robbed! I can’t be eternally grateful for this, it was too easy!” With his blank stare, Charlie replies, “Well, whatever you think is fair.” “How about if I just say ‘thanks, Bro?'” replied Lucy. As Charlie leaves to go outside, he meets Linus. “Where’ve you been, Charlie Brown?” “Helping Lucy with her homework.” Linus asks, “Did she appreciate it?” Charlie answers, “At greatly reduced prices.”
