If I Were A Rich Man


The teacher asked her students to write an essay, explaining what they would do if they each had a million dollars.

Every pupil except Teddy began writing immediately. He just sat in his chair, making faces and twiddling his thumbs.

At the end of the class period, the teacher collected the papers and Teddy turned his blank sheet in with the rest.

"What is the meaning of this, Teddy?" asked the teacher. "Is this  your essay? All the others have written two pages or more, while you have done absolutely nothing!"


"Well," replied Teddy, "if I had that much money, that's exactly what I'd do - nothing."
