How Free?

[gentman]

Memorial Day weekend was coming up, and the nursery

school teacher took the opportunity to tell her class

about patriotism.

"We live in a great country," she said. "One of the

things we should be happy about is that, in this

country, we are all free."

One little boy came walking up to her from the back

of the room. He stood with his hands on his hips and

said. . . . "I'm not free. I'm four."
