Little Johnny got kicked out of school today. The teacher asked him, “If I gave you twenty dollars. And you paid five dollars to Kate, five dollars to Sally and five dollars to Linda. What would you have?

Little Johnny sat in the principal’s office, his heart pounding with fear and uncertainty. He had been called in after getting kicked out of school for an incident that had occurred earlier that day.

The principal, a stern-looking man with a kind heart beneath his tough exterior, regarded Johnny with a mixture of concern and disappointment. “Johnny, can you tell me what happened today?” he asked, his voice gentle but firm.

Johnny shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment. “I got in trouble in math class,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper.

The principal nodded, understanding dawning in his eyes. “I see. And can you tell me why you got in trouble?”
