Once there was a little boy called Rohit who lived in the country.

They had to use an outhouse, and Rohit hated it because it was hot in
the summer, cold in the winter and stank all the time. The outhouse was
sitting on the bank of a creek and the boy determined that one day he
would push that outhouse into the river.

One day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen so Rohit decided
today was the day to push the outhouse into the river. So he
got a large stick and started pushing. Finally, the outhouse toppled
into the river and floated away.

That night his dad Kanjibhai told him they were going to the woodshed
after supper. Knowing that meant a spanking, the little boy asked why.

Kanjibhai replied, someone pushed the outhouse into the river today.

It was you, wasnt it, son?

Rohit answered yes.

Then he thought a moment and said,

Dad, I read in school today that Gandhiji chopped down a Pipal tree and
didnt get into trouble because he told the truth.

The dad replied, well, son, Gandhijis father wasnt in that Pipal
tree!
