The 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class,
>>'Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?'
>>No one answered until little Mary stood up and said,
>>
>> 'You should not be asking sixth graders a question like that! I'm going
>>to tell my parents, and they will go and tell the Principal, who will then fire you!'
>>
>>Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again,
>>'Which body part increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?'
>>
>>Little Mary's mouth fell open. Then she said to those around her,
>>'Boy, is she going to get in big trouble!'
>>The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class,
>>
>>'Anybody?'
>>
>>Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said,
>> 'The body part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the pupil of the eye.'
>>
>>Mrs. Parks said, 'Very good, Billy,' then turned to Mary and continued.
>>
>>'As for you, young lady, I have three things to say:
>>
>>One, you have a dirty mind.
>>
>>Two, you didn't read your homework.
>>
>>And three, one day you are going to be very, VERY disappointed !!'
