''The Louisiana Purchase''
In class one day, Mr Johnson pulled Johnny over to his desk after a test,
and said, 'Johnny I have a feeling that you have been cheating on your tests.'
Johnny was astounded and asked Mr Johnson to prove it.
'Well,' said Mr. Johnson, 'I was looking over your test and the question was,
‘Who was our first prime minister?’, and the little girl that sits next to you,
Mary, put ‘Edmund Barton,’ and so did you.'
'So, everyone knows that he was the first prime minister.'
said little Johnny with his little innocent eyes open large. '
Just wait a minute,' said Mr. Johnson. 'The next question was,
'Who freed the slaves in American history?’ Mary put Abraham Lincoln and so did you.'
'Well, I read the history book last night and I remembered that,' said Johnny.
'Wait, wait,' said Mr Johnson. 'The next question was,
'Who was president during the Louisiana Purchase?'
Mary put 'I don't know,' and you put, "Me neither"'.'
