Stealing bread


Recommended Posts

The Governor made room on his busy calendar to hear the

pleas of one Mrs. Smith that her husband be released from

the state penitentiary. "What was he sentenced for?" asked

the Governor gently.

"For stealing a loaf of bread," nervously replied the offender's

wife.

"Is he a good husband?"

"No," she replied frankly, blushing a bit. "He beats me when

he gets drunk, he bullies our children, he's unfaithful, and

really not much good at all."

"It sounds to me as though you're better off without him," said

the Governor. "Why on earth do you want him out of jail?"

"Well," she explained, "we're out of bread again."
