He Kicks It!

Akpos, the son of a farmer, wakes up in the morning and is starving, so he goes downstairs for breakfast.

His mom says, "Before you can eat, you need to milk the cow, get the eggs from the chickens, and feed the goats."

"That's not fair!", he screams. But the mom insists.

So Akpos grumbles as he's walking out to the field. He's so mad that after he milks the cow, he kicks it. Then when he grabs the eggs, he kicks the chicken. Then when he feeds the goat, he kicks it.

When he comes back in, absolutely starving, his mom throws a cold bowl of custard on the table in front of him.

"What's this?", Akpos says. "Where's my warm breakfast?!"

The mom says, "Well, you kicked the cow, so you get no milk. You kicked the chicken, so you get no eggs. You kicked the goat, so you get no fried meat."

As she says this, the father comes down the stairs and trips over the cat. He gets so angry that he kicks the cat.

The boy looks at his mom and says, "Do you want me to tell him the bad news or will you?"
