KIDDING ASIDE
A five-year-old boy had a very precocious interest in motorcycles. Whenever he saw one he would let out a howl of joy, accompanied by animated remarks of “Look at that! Look at that! I’m going to get a motorcycle someday.” His father’s answer was always the same, “Not so long as I’m alive, you won’t.” One day, while the boy was talking to his friend, a brand new stylish bike zoomed by. He excitedly pointed it out to the boy and exclaimed, “Look at that! Look at that! I’m getting one of those — as soon as my dad dies.” Adapted from a story by Elizabeth Leyda
