The Wee Dog

Back in the 1960-1970's there was a couple of wee boys in the south of Ireland. They attended a one room school house and they had to walk to get there.

They came to class one day and the teacher said, "Okay, we are going to be learning about..........construct a sentence that begins with 'This morning...'"

A few minutes later she called on on of the boys, "Can you read your sentence to the class, James?"

He bravely stood up, "This morning on the way to school a wee dog crossed the road."

"James, I think what you meant to say was, 'This morning on the way to school a small dog crossed the road,'" the teacher corrected.

To that, the poor boy leaned over to his chum and whispered in all seriousness, "It looked like a wee dog to me!"
