JUST ONE WORD, BUT TOO LATE.

“MAMA, may I say something?” “You know the rule is that you must not speak at the table.” “But may I say just one word?” “No; but when papa has finished his paper, then you may speak.” (Papa finally lays down his paper.) “Now, what did you wish to say!” “I wanted to tell you that the water is running over the tub onto the floor in the bathroom.” This conversation teaches its own moral.
