A sixth grade class is doing some spelling drills. The teacher
asks Tommy if he can spell 'before.' He stands up and says,
"Before, B-E-P-H-O-R."
The teacher says, "No, that's wrong. Can anyone else spell
before?"
Another little boy stands up and says, "Before, B-E-F-O-O-R."
Again the teacher says, "No, that's wrong." The teacher asks,
"Little Johnny, can you spell 'before'?"
Little Johnny stands up and says, "Before, B-E-F-O-R-E."
"Excellent Johnny, now can you use it in a sentence?"
Little Johnny says, "That's easy. Two plus two be fore." |
