David Beckham Visits A School

David Beckham is visiting a school. In one class, he asks the kids in the class if anyone can give him an example of a ‘tragedy’.

One little boy stands up and offers that if my best friend who lives next door was playing in the street and a car came along and killed him that would be a tragedy.

“No,” Beckham says, “that would be an ACCIDENT.”

A girl raises her hand.”If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved….. that would be a tragedy.”

“I’m afraid not,” explains Beckham. “That is what we would call a GREATLOSS. ”

The room is silent, none of the children volunteer.

“What?” asks Beckham, “Isn’t there any one here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

Finally a boy in the back raises his hand. In a timid voice, he says “If an airplane carrying David Beckham was blown up by a bomb, *that* would be a tragedy.”

Beckham beams. “Marvellous! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?”

“Well,” says the boy “because it wouldn’t be an accident and it certainly wouldn’t be a great loss.”
