Zachary came home with a very serious look 0n
his face. He didn't even kiss his mother
Hello.
Instead, he went straight to his room and
started studying. Books and papers were
spread out all over the room and little
Zachary was hard at work.
His mother was amazed. She called him
down to dinner.
To her shock, the minute he was done,
he marched back to his room without a word,
and in no time, he was back hitting the books
as hard as before. This went on for some time,
day after day, while the mother tried to
understand what made all the difference.
Finally , little Zachary brought home his
report Card. He quietly laid it on the table,
went up to his room and hit the books.
With great trepidation, His Mom looked at
it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary
got an 'A' in math. She could no Longer
hold her curiosity.
She went to his room and said, 'Son,
what was it? Was it the nuns?' Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head,
no. 'Well, then,' she replied, Was it the books, the discipline,
the structure, the uniforms? 'WHAT WAS IT ALREADY?'
Little Zachary looked at her and said,
'Well, on the first day of school when
I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign,
I knew they weren't fooling around.'
