A Pointed Story.

A Wellington teacher the other day gave a lesson on the story of Cinderella, and then put some leading questions to the class to test their attention. After obtaining replies as to how the sisters were dressed, what the fairy god-mother did, and what the prince thought of the glass slipper, the final question was: “How does the story end?” The most finished reply came from the child who wrote: “The story ends with a full stop.”
