The teacher asks the kids to find story with a moral for their homework. Next morning the teacher asks "Who has a story with a moral to it?". Little Johnnies hand shoots up, but the teacher ignores him. She asks little Mary-"What's your story, Mary?'.
"Well, Mum sent me up to the neighbors on my bike to get some eggs. I put them in the front basket, but when I hit a bump, the eggs all broke".
"Very good", says the teacher. "And what's the moral of the story?".
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket, Miss".
"Very good, Mary".
By now Little Johnnies arm has just about fallen off, so the teacher lets him go next. "What's your story Johnny?", she asks.
"Well, Grandpa was in the great war. He was in the trenches, all his mates had been killed. There was 300 enemy soldiers coming towards him, and he only had 20 bullets, his gun, and a bottle of whiskey. So he drank the whiskey, shot 20 and bayonetted the rest".
"That's a very good story, Johnny". She says, "But what's the moral to the story?".
"Don't mess with Grandad when he's on the grog", he says.
