These kids are in Sunday School learning about parables.
"As you all know,"says the teacher, "Jesus taught people by telling parables which were stories with strong morals to them.
I'd like you all to make up your own."
A little girl, Mandy puts up her hand:
"Well... my gandmother stays on a farm and one day she decided to collect the eggs from the chickens.
Anyway she was in a rush so she put all the eggs in one massive basket.
On her way to the house she tripped over the cat, dropped the basket and all the eggs broke."
"That's an interesting parable Mandy , now what is the moral to that parable?" asks the teacher.
Mandy answers, " Just like my Gran with the eggs, if you rush things too much without planning you can seriously spoil them and make mistakes."
"That's very good Mandy," says the teacher,"who else has a parable?
A rowdy boy puts up his hand:
"Well my granddad was in the trenches in WW2. He was all alone in his trench but say that there were 12 enermy soldiers in the other trench.
He checked his possesions and saw he only had a bottle of whisky and a rifle with 10 bullets.
So he drinks the bottle of whisky to start off with then charges forward.
He shoots 10 of the enermy soldiers dead then clubs the other 2 to death with the empty whisky bottle."
The Teacher has a puzzled look on her face and asks, "What kind of moral could that parable possibilly have?"
The boy answers" Dont mess with my granddad when his drunk!"
