One day a teacher was giving her young students a lesson on how the government works.She was trying to explain the principle of income tax.
“You see,” she began, speaking slowly and carefully, “each person who works must pay part of his or her salary to the government.If you make a high salary, your taxes are high.If you don’t make much money, your taxes are low.”
“Is that clear?” she asked.“Does everyone understand the meaning of income tax?” The students nodded.
“Are there any questions?” she asked.The students shook their heads.
“Very good,” she said.“Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short paragraph on the subject of income tax.”
Little Joey was a slow learner.He had lots of problems with spelling and grammar, but this time he at least seemed to understand the assignment.He grabbed his pen and after a few minutes, he handed the teacher the following composition:
Once I had a dog.His name was Tax.I opened the door and in come Tax.
