Theres a little fellow named Junior who hangs out at Tims Grocery Store.

The owner Tim doesnt know what Juniors problem is, but the boys like to tease him. They say he is two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles shy of a barrel.

To prove it, sometimes they offer Junior his choice between a nickel and a dime. He always takes the nickel – they say – because its bigger.

One day after Junior grabbed the nickel, Tim got him off to one side and said, Junior, those boys are making fun of you. They think you dont know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because its bigger, or what?

And Junior said, Well, if I took the dime, theyd quit doing it!
