MESSIAH MATHS ... enjoy!
Little Zachary was doing very badly in his maths.His parents had tried everything. Tutors, mentors, flash cards even
special learning centres. In short, everything they could think of to
help his maths.
Finally, in a last ditch desperate effort, they took Zachary down and
enrolled him in the local Catholic school.
After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very
serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother 'hello'.
Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and
papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at
work.
His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.
To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his
room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as
hard as before.
This went on for some time, day after day, while the
mother tried to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Zachary brought home his report card. He
quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books.
With great trepidation, his mum looked at it and to her great surprise,
little Zachary got an 'A' in maths. She could no longer hold her
curiosity.
She went to his room and said, "son, what was it? Was it the nice nuns?" Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no.
"Well then," she replied, "was it the books, the discipline,
the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT REALLY?"
Little Zachary looked at her and said, "Well, on the first day
of school when I saw that guy nailed to that big old plus sign, I knew they
weren't fooling around."
