A Short, Funny Tale.

“What is an anecdote, Johnny?” asked the teacher.

“A short, funny tale,” answered the little fellow.

“That’s right,” said the teacher.

“Now, Johnny, you may write a sentence on the blackboard containing the word.”

Johnny hesitated a moment and then wrote this:

“A rabbit has four legs and one anecdote.”
