Una maestra cubana dice a los ninos que hagan una composición con un tema de la revolución y al terminar manda a Pepito a que lea la suya:

Yo tengo una gatica que ayer tuvo cinco gaticos y todos los gaticos son revolucionarios.

La maestra, al ver que Pepito sabía que hasta los gaticos deben ser revolucionarios, propone al director de la escuela que llame al inspector para que oiga la composicion. Pasados tres dias llega el inspector a la escuela y la maestra muy diligente pide a Oepito que lea su composición y pepito lee:

Yo tengo una gatica que hace cinco dias tuvo cinco gaticos y tres son revolucionarios.

Al oir esto, la maestra reacciona rápidamente y le dice:

Bueno maestra, es que dos ya abrieron los ojos.
