>No one answered until little Mary stood up and said, "You should not be
>asking sixth-graders a question like that! I'm going to tell my parents,
>and they will go and tell the principal, who will then fire you!"

>Mrs. Parks ignored her and asked the question again, "Which body part
>increases to 10 times its size when stimulated?"
>Little Mary's mouth fell open. Then she said to those around her, "Boy,
>is she going to get in big trouble!"
>The teacher continued to ignore her and said to the class, "Anybody?"
>
>Finally, Billy stood up, looked around nervously, and said, "The body
>part that increases 10 times its size when stimulated is the pupil of
>the eye."

>Mrs. Parks said, "Very good, Billy," then turned to Mary and continued.

>"As for you, young lady, I have three things to say:
>One, you have a dirty mind.
>Two, you didn't read your homework.
