A little girl on her first day at school, was found by one of the teachers in tears. “Why, dear,” asked the sympathetic lady, “what’s the matter?” “They tell me,” said the child between her sobs, “that I shall have to stay here until I’m fourteen.” Teacher patted her on the shoulder, “Cheer up,” she said gently, “you’re better off than I am. Just think. I have to stay here until I’m sixty-five.”
