The Yellow Flower ----------------- A little boy is walking to school one day and hears some kids talking about the yellow flower. He decides he wants to find out what it is. He gets to school and says to his teacher, "I was on my way to school and I heard some kids talking about the yellow flower. What is it?" His teacher says, "I will not tolerate that kind of talk in my classroom! Go to the Principal's office!" The little boy goes up to the Principal's office, and the Principal asks him, "What are you doing up here, son?" The little boy replies, "I was on my way to school and I heard some kids talking about the yellow flower. I asked my teacher what it was and she sent me up here. What is it?" The Principal says, "I will not have that kind of talk in my school! You are expelled from this school and every other school in the state! Get out!" So the little boy goes home. His mother asks, "What are you doing home so early?" "I was on my way to school and I heard some kids talking about the yellow flower. I asked my teacher what it was, and she sent me to the Principal's office, and the Principal expelled me from every school in the state. What is the yellow flower?" His mother says, "Go up to your room! You're going to bed without dinner. I'll send your father up to talk to you when he gets home." So the little boy goes up to his room, and about 5:00 his dad got home from work. He went up to the boy's room and said, "Your mom tells me you've been a bad boy. What did you do?" "Well, I was on my way to school and I heard some kids talking about the yellow flower. I asked my teacher what it was, and she sent me to the principal's office, the Principal expelled me from every school in the state, and mom sent me to bed without dinner. What's the yellow flower?" His dad says, "Get out of my house son! I don't ever want to see you again!" The little boy is walking down the street, and a few hours later and policeman stopped him. He asked him why he was walking by himself so late at night. The little boy says, "Well, I was on my way to school and I heard some kids talking about the yellow flower. I asked my teacher what it was, and she sent me to the Principal's office, the Principal expelled me from every school in the state, mom sent me to bed without dinner, and dad kicked me out of the house. Can you tell me what the yellow flower is?" The policeman says, "That's enough of that! You're going to jail for 99 years!" 99 years later, he comes back an old man, and decides he wants to try to find out what the yellow flower is. So he heads to his old school where it all started. As he was crossing the street, he got hit by a car and he died. What's the moral of the story? (Answer below) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Look both ways before crossing the street.
