An airplane was about
to crash; there were 5 passengers on board, but
only 4 parachutes.
The first passenger
said, "I am President Obama, the chosen one.
The world needs me, I can't afford to
die." So he took the first parachute and
left the plane.
The second passenger,
Nancy Pelosi, said, "I am the Speaker of the
House. And I am the smartest woman in
American history, so America 's people don't want
me to die." She took the second parachute
and jumped out of the plane.
The third
passenger, John Kerry, said, "I'm a Senator, and
a decorated war hero from the Army of the
United States of
America ."
So he grabbed the parachute next to him
and jumped.
The fourth passenger,
ex-President George W. Bush, said to the fifth
passenger, a 10-year-old schoolgirl, "I have
lived a full life, and served my country the
best I could. I will sacrifice my life and
let you have the last parachute."
The
little girl said, "That's okay, Mr. President.
There's a parachute left for you.
America 's smartest woman took
my backpack."![]()
