 * Minus, Life, Never.

The class was working on subtraction, And the teacher said: “‘2 – 1 = 1’” So the little girl asked the teacher, “What does minus mean?” And the teacher said: “’Minus’ means to take away” The little girl thought about it for awhile. And looked to the back of the class, And smiled, Then put it out of her mind.

The class was talking about the life of a moth, And the teacher said: “The life of a moth is very short” So the little girl asked the teacher, “What does life mean?” And the teacher said: “Life is how long you are living and breathing” The little girl thought about it for awhile, And looked to the back of the class, And smiled, Then put it out of her mind.

The class was talking about spelling, And the teacher said: “Never is spelt n-e-v-e-r” So the little girl asked the teacher, “What does never mean?” And the teacher said: “Never means not for eternity” The little girl thought about it for awhile, And looked to the back of the class, And smiled, Then put it out of her mind.

On the walk home from school, The little girl ran to catch up with the little boy. The little boy that sat at the back of the class, She told the boy: “I learned a lot today… what did you learn?” And the little boy said: “I learned about the life of a moth, And how to spell never, And how to minus one thing from another.” Then he asked the little girl: “What did you learn today?” And the little girl said, “I learned that I never want to minus you from my life.” Then she looked at him and smiled, And skipped all the way home. || ||
