| HEADLINES - GORDON BROWN GOES BACK TO PRIMARY SCHOOL |
|
Gordon Brown went back to Primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to "words" and their "meanings". The teacher then asked the Prime Minister if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "TRAGEDY".
So the countrys Illustrious leader looked around the classroom and asked for an example of the word "TRAGEDY".
A little timid boy stood up and offered " If my best friend, who lives on a farm, and is playing in the field, gets run down and killed by a tractor, that would be a "Tragedy".
"No" said Gordon Brown, "that would be an accident" He added.
A little shy girl raises her hand and said " a big school bus drove off a cliff killing all the little boys and girls inside, that would be a "Tragedy".
"I am afraid not" said Gordon Brown", "that would be a great loss to the community and school".
The room went silent. No other child offered an example, so the Prime Minister searched the room and said " is'nt there somebody that can offer me an example of this word "Tragedy".
Finally, at the back of the class, little Jonny put up his hand..........
In a quiet voice he asked Gordon Brown. " if a plane carrying you the Prime Minister, and Mr Darling was struck down by a "friendly fire missile", blown to smithereens, that would be a "Tragedy" would'nt it?.
"Fantastic" said Gordon Brown, "can you now tell me why it falls into the word "Tragedy".
"Well" says Jonny, "it has to be a Tragedy, because it certainly wont be a great loss, nor will it probably be an accident..............................
