“My friend, that is very easily explained,” replied Mr. Alcott. “I rise very early in the morning, gather all the bugs from my vines and throw them into your yard.”
Proved His Teacher Wrong
Little Willie’s father found his youthful son holding up one of his rabbits by the ears and saying to him: “How much is seven times seven, now?”
“Bah,” the father heard the boy say, “I knew you couldn’t. Here’s another one. Six times six is how much?”
“Why, Willie, what in the world are you doing with your rabbit?” asked the father.
Willie threw the rabbit down with disgust. “I knew our teacher was lying to us,” was all he said.
“Why, how?” asked his father.
“Why, she told us this morning that rabbits were the greatest multipliers in the world.”
