Little Johnny is always being teased by the other

Little Johnny is always being teased by the other neighborhood boys for being stupid.


Their favorite joke is to offer Johnny his choice between a nickel and a dime Little

Johnny always takes the nickel.


One day, after Johnny takes the nickel, a neighbor takes him aside and says, “Johnny,

those boys are making fun of you. Don’t you know that a dime is worth more than a

nickel, even though the nickel’s bigger?”


Johnny grins and says, “Well, if I took the dime, they’d stop doing it, and so far I’ve

made $20!”
