Once upon a time in a classroom, a teacher asked little Johnny a math question. Little did the teacher know that this innocent question would turn into a humorous lesson.
The teacher began, “If I gave you 2 cats, and another 2 cats, and another 2 cats, how many would you have?”
Confidently, Johnny responded, “Seven.”
Perplexed, the teacher tried to explain, “No, listen carefully. If I gave you two cats, and another two cats, and another two cats, how many would you have?”
Without hesitation, Johnny repeated, “Seven.”
The teacher attempted another approach, hoping to clarify things. “Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples, and another two apples, how many would you have?”
Johnny thought for a moment and responded with a smile, “Six.”
Finally, the teacher felt relieved, thinking that Johnny had grasped the concept. The teacher asked, “Good. Now, if I gave you two cats, and another two cats, and another two cats, how many would you have?”
With a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, Johnny confidently replied, “Seven!”
The teacher was baffled, unable to comprehend where Johnny got the number seven from. The teacher questioned, “Johnny, where in the world do you get seven from?!”
Confidently, Johnny replied with a grin, “Because I’ve already got a cat!”
And with that clever response, laughter filled the classroom as both students and teacher learned a valuable lesson: Sometimes, thinking outside the box can lead to unexpected and hilarious outcomes.
So, the next time you encounter a puzzling question, remember Johnny’s funny math lesson and allow your creativity to shine.
