Little Johnny came home from school in a really bad mood. Nothing had
gone well for him that day.
As he was walking past the sty, he saw a youg piglet playing and Little
Johnny was so grumpy he hauled off and kicked that piglet.
When he got by the barn, he saw some hens clucking and scratching the
ground. Not feeling any better yet, he hauled off and kicked a hen.
He walked into the house and yelled to nobody in particular that he was
in a bad mood so watch out.
His mother had seen all of his activities and said, "Little Johnny, you
can be in a bad mood. But that does not give you the right to be mean
to
the farm animals. For kicking the piglet you will get no ham or bacon
for two weeks. And for kicking the hen, you will get no eggs for two
weeks. Now you can sit and think on that."
Just then his Dad walked in and he was in a worse mood than Little
Johnny. As he got into the kitchen, the little kitten walking around
his
feet went flying from a kick he gave it. Little Johnny looked at his
mom
and said with a smile, "Do you want to tell him or should I?"
