A Teacher's Story
My five-year old students are learning to read.
Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
'Hey, look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!'
Startled, I took a deep breath, and then asked...
'What did you call it?'
'It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!'
And so it did...
'A f r i c a n Elephant'
It isn't widely known, but the first toilet seat was invented
by a Polish scientist in the 16th century. The invention was
later modified by an Irish inventor who put a hole in the seat.
