A true teacher story < WildBob >

Last night I had to attend a function and there were a bunch of teachers there and one told the following story. I don't know if it was true or just a good yarn but it made me laugh for a long time.

The mind of a 6-year old is wonderful. First grade...true story: One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read, "...And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said..'Holy smokes A talking pig!'"

The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
