Little Johnny (by the river)
Little Johnny is standing at the side of a river, weeping. His tears
are streaming down his cheeks. An elderly lady passes by and feels
pity for him. "What is the matter, young boy? Why are you crying?"
"It's mean!", the boy sniffed, "My daddy drowned all four little kittens
we had yesterday..."
"That's awful indeed!", the lady replied angrily, " Your father is a real
monster!'
"Yes", said the little boy, "He had promised to me that I could do it."
