Little Johnny's Homework




Johnny, where's your homework?" Miss Martin said sternly to the
little boy while holding out her hand. 
              
"My dog ate it," was his solemn response. 
              
"Johnny, I've been a teacher for eighteen years.  Do you really
expect me to believe that?" 
              
"It's true, Miss Martin, I swear," insisted Johnny.  "I had to
force him, but he ate it!"
