Little Johnnie’s neighbour had a  baby.

Unfortunately, the baby was born without  ears.  

When mother and new baby came home from  the hospital, Johnnies’ family was invited over to see the  baby.

Before they left their house, Little  Johnnie’s dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no ears.

His dad also told him that if he so  much mentioned anything about the baby’s missing ears or even  said the word ears, he would get the smacking of his life when  they came back home.

Little Johnnie told his dad  he understood completely.

When Johnnie looked in the crib he said,

‘What a beautiful baby.’

The mother said, ‘Why,  thank you, Johnnie.

Johnnie said, ‘He has beautiful little  feet and beautiful little hands,  a cute little nose and really beautiful eyes. Can he see alright?’

‘Yes’, the mother replied, ‘we  are so thankful; the Doctor said he will have 20/20 vision.’

‘That’s great’, said Little  Johnnie,’coz he’d be stuffed if he  needed glasses’.
