=== Phone Call ===

The boss of a big company needed to call

one of his employees about an urgent

problem with one of the main computers.

He dialed the employee's home phone

number and was greeted with a child's

whispered, "Hello?"

Feeling put out at the inconvenience of

having to talk to a youngster the boss

asked, "Is your Daddy home?"

"Yes," whispered the small voice.

"May I talk with him?" the man asked.

To the surprise of the boss, the small

voice whispered, "No."

Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss

asked, "Is your Mommy there?"

"Yes", came the answer.

"May I talk with her?"

Again the small voice whispered, "No".

Knowing that it was not likely that a

young child would be left home alone,

the boss decided he would just leave

a message with the person who should

be there watching over the child.

"Is there anyone there besides you?"

the boss asked the child.

"Yes" whispered the child, "A policeman."

Wondering what a cop would be doing at

his employee's home, the boss asked,

"May I speak with the policeman?"

"No, he's busy," whispered the child.

"Busy doing what?" asked the boss.

Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the fireman,"

came the whispered answer.

Growing concerned and even worried as he

heard what sounded like a helicopter

through the ear piece on the phone the

boss asked, "What is that noise?"

"A hello-copper," answered the

whispering voice.

"What is going on there?" asked the

boss, now alarmed.

In an awed whispering voice the child

answered, "The search team just landed

the hello-copper."

Alarmed, concerned and more than just a

little frustrated, the boss asked,

"Why are they there?"

Still whispering, the young voice

replied along with a muffled giggle,

"They're looking for me."
