TIME WILL TELL
A little boy in a grade-school re
fused to sew, thinking it beneath
the dignity of a 10-year-old.
“George Washington sewed,” said
the principal, “and do you consider
yourself better than George Wash
ington?”
“I don’t know; time will tell,”
said the boy, seriously.
Front Line Beggar
Captain—Well, what do you want?
Tramp—Captain, believe me,-I’m
no ordinary beggar. I was at the
front.
Captain (with interest)—Really?
Tramp—Yes, sir, but I couldn’t
make anybody hear, so I came
round to the back.
Father’s Lesson
Father—What a boy you are for
asking questions. I’d like to know
what would have happened if I’d
asked as many questions when I
was a boy.
Tommy—Perhaps you would have
been able to answer some of mine.
