True example of a tragedy

Mon Sep 05, 2005 6:45 am

President Bush was visiting a primary school and he dropped in on one
of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words
and their meanings. The teacher asked the President if he would like to
lead the discussion on the word "tragedy". So the illustrious leader
asked the class for an example of a "tragedy".

One little boy stood up and offered:
"If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field
and a tractor runs over him and kills him that would be a tragedy."

"No," said Bush, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children
drove
over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not!," explained the president.
"That's what we would call agreat loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered.
Bush searched the room.
"Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally at the back of the room a little boy named "Greg" raised his
hand.
In a quiet voice he said:
"If Air Force One carrying you and Mrs. Bush was struck by a
"friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens that would be a
tragedy."

"Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you tell me why
that
would be a tragedy?"

"Well," says Greg, "It has to be a tragedy,
because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss
and it probably wouldn't be a F*cking accident either.
