ONE-TRACK MIND

Most Israeli children never see snow. The elementary school teacher, wanting somehow to demonstrate this natural phenomenon, prepared a bag with small, white paper pellets and while explaining to her class the differences between the European and Israeli winter, threw them into the air.

“Children, what does this remind you of?” - she asked.

A girl raised her finger.

“Yes, Miriam!” - said the teacher.

“It reminds me of the day, when a pillow-case was torn and the feathers flew all over our house.”

“Very good, but I thought of something slightly different.”

Another girl said that the falling pellets reminded her of falling snow, as she saw in a film.

“Excellent, Tamar!” - commented the teacher and wanted to continue with the lesson, when she noticed yet another raised finger.

“Yes, Moishe’le. What does this remind you of?”

“Of sex,” - said the child.

“Sex?” - wondered the teacher. “How does that come into it?”

“Everything reminds me of sex!”
