[Ralphy]

Johney come down for breakfast and his mother asked him if he did his chores. He said he would do them after breakfast. His mother reminded him that the animals needed to be fed before he could eat. Reluctantly he started by feeding the chickens who run up to him to get some food and he kicked one out of the way so he could continue. The same thing happened when he fed the pigs and cows. When he sat down for breakfast, he noticed that all he had was a bowl of dry cereal. His mother said that because he kicked the cow, he would not get any milk for a week. Her also would not get any eggs or bacon. His father came down the stairs and there was a cat sleeping on the bottom stair so he kicked it out of his way. Johnny looked at his mother and asked if she wanted to tell him, or should he?
