A young teacher was watching a playground full of kids and noticed some older ones teasing a younger one. They would hold out a dime and a nickel and laugh when he took the nickel.

Seeking a quiet time, the well meaning teacher took the lad aside and in a low voice explained to him that a dime, small as it was, was worth two nickels.

"I know THAT", replied the kid, "But if I take the dime they'll stop giving me MONEY!"
