Little Johnny’s mother had just presented the family with twins, and the household was in a state of excitement. Father beamed with pride as he took Johnny to one side. “If you’ll tell .your teacher about it, I’m sure she will give you a day’s holiday,” he said. That afternoon Johnny came home radiant. “I don’t have to go to school tomorrow,” he announced proudly. “Did you tell your teacher about the twins?” asked his father. “No, I just told her I had a baby sister. I'm saving the other for next week.”
