The Trader
Two teenagers are sitting on a house porch after school one afternoon.
Little Johnny comes walking down the road in front of the house. One
of the kids leans over to the other and says, "Do you see that guy? We
call him Little Johnny and he is the greatest wheeler dealer in the
whole school. He can make a deal and get a trade for almost anything."
This first kid yells to Little Johnny and asks, "Hey Little Johnny,
whatcha carrying around with you?" Little Johnny yells back, "I have a
sack of buttercups and I am going to go trade them for butter."
The teen on the porch yells back, "That is silly! You cannot trade
buttercups for butter!" But one hour later, Little Johnny comes back
down the road carrying a bucket full of butter. The two kids on the
porch just shake their heads and mutter, "Little Johnny is the
greatest trader of all."
The next day, the two teenagers see Little Johnny walking down the
road again. One of the kids yells to Little Johnny, "Little Johnny,
what do you have in the sack there?" Little Johnny yells back, "I have
a sack of milkweed and I am going to trade it for milk."
The teen on the porch yells back, "That is silly! You cannot trade
milkweed for milk!" But one hour later, Little Johnny comes back down
the road carrying a bucket full of milk. The two kids on the porch
just shake their heads and mutter, "Little Johnny is the greatest
trader in all."
The next day, the two teenagers see Little Johnny walking down the
road again. One of the teens yells to Little Johnny, "Little Johnny,
what do you have in the sack now?" Little Johnny yells back, "I have a
sack of pussy willows!" The two teens on the porch yell back, "Wait!
We are coming with you!!"
