No one answered until little Mary stood up, angry, and said,
โYou should not be asking 6th graders a question like that!
Iโm going to tell my parents,ย and they will go and tell the principal,ย who will then fire you!
โ
With a sneer on her face, she then sat back down.
ย Mrs.
Parks ignored her and asked the question again,ย โWhich body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?โ
Little Maryโs mouth fell open; then she said to those around her, โBoy, is she gonna get in big trouble!
โ
The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class, โAnybody?โ
Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said,ย โThe body part that increases ten times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye.โ
Mrs.
Parks said, โExcellent, Billy,โ then turned to Mary and continued, โAs for you, young lady, I have three things to say:
(1) you have a dirty mind, (2) you didnโt read your homework, and
(3) one day, you are going to be very, very disappointed.โ
