Around Town... by John Bill Martin

What is your favorite animal?

This would never happen in any of my classes because I agree with the young man 100

per cent. Anyway, here is his story:

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, “Fried chicken.”

She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, because everyone else laughed.

My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal.
