HUMOROUS FICTION
American School Teacher Names Teddy Bear Moses
When an American teacher at a school in Manhattan named a teddy bear Moses, one of her young students told his parents about the matter. They immediately called the principal who headed the school, who quickly called a number of teachers and parents to discuss the situation.
A course of action was determined, and the next day the principal went to the teacher’s classroom.
“I understand you named a teddy bear Moses?” he asked.
“Yes, I did,” she replied. “Did I do something wrong?”
“She didn’t do it!” a child called.
“All she did is ask us to name it,” a third student chimed in.
“My name’s Moses, so I suggested the name,” a third child admitted. “I like having the teddy bear named after me.”
“Will I be flogged and imprisoned?” the teacher wanted to know.
“Why?” he asked, being, fortunately, an enlightened principal. “I think naming it Moses is cute.”
“You do?” she asked.
“Of course,” he replied. “So do the teachers and parents I talked to.”
“My,” the teacher noted, “How different from being a teacher in Sudan!”
