The story of the day in the first grade was the Three Little Pigs. Mrs. Taylor, the teacher was reading out the story when she came to the part where the first pig was trying to acquire building materials for his home.
She said, "And so the pig went up to the man with a wheelbarrow full of straw and said 'Pardon me sir, but might I have some of that straw to build my house with?' "
Then Mrs. Taylor had a question for the class, "And what do you think that man said?"
Little Johnny raised his hand and said, "I know the answer... . . . . 'Holy smokes! A talking pig!!' "
