The Duck and The Truth {Insp}

"The Duck and The Truth"

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents
on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with
out in the woods. He practiced in the woods; but he
could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged,
he headed back for dinner. As he was walking back
he saw Grandma's pet duck.

Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck
square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved!

In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the woodpile, only
to see his sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.

After lunch the next day Grandma said, 'Sally, let's wash
the dishes' But Sally said, 'Grandma, Johnny told me
he wanted to help in the kitchen.' Then she whispered
to him, 'Remember the duck?' So Johnny did the dishes.

Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted
to go fishing and Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need
Sally to help make supper.'

Sally just smiled and said, 'Well that's all right because
Johnny told me he wanted to help'

She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Sally
went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.

After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and
Sally's he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.

Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said,
'Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the
window and I saw the whole thing, but because
I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how
long you would let Sally make a slave of you.'
