The Purple House

It began on a wonderful evening in the spring, when A young boy named "Jimmy" was at school taking a test. This test wasn't very hard for Jimmy because he was always a strait-A student. So like every other test day, Jimmy finishes his test and then looks out the window, and when he looked out the window, he seen this old purple house across the street. With curiosity, Jimmy looks up at the teacher and without thinking, he asked. "Teacher? what is in the purple house across the street?" The teacher looked at Jimmy in shock, and with an angry look on her face, she says. "Jimmy! go to the principal's office right now! I don't want to see you face again for the rest of the day!" So without arguing, Jimmy walks down the hall and into the principal's office. Once Jimmy walks in, the principal was shocked to see him. The principle looked at Jimmy and asked. "Say Jimmy? why are you in here? you have always been a strait-A student. Did you do something wrong?" I have no idea." Jimmy replied, "All I asked her was what was in the purple house across the street." Instantly, the principal stands up and starts to yell at Jimmy. "Jimmy! I am so disappointed in you!! you are expelled, so go home!!" So without arguing, Jimmy walks home, and meets his mother who is in the kitchen washing dishes. when she asked him what was wrong, and why he was home so early, Jimmy told her that he had been expelled. "Well what for Jimmy?" she asked with a motherly concern, "what did you do?" I don't know mom." Jimmy replied, "All I did was ask the teacher what was in the purple house across the street." All of a sudden, Jimmy's mother drops a dish in shock, and begins to cry in anger. "Jimmy! get out of my face! you are no longer my son! go live on the streets!!!" Although Jimmy didn't understand why his mother was like this, he didn't argue and then walked out the door. Later on, Jimmy was walking along the side walk when a storm came. when the rain came down, he was seen by an old homeless man who let him shelter himself from the rain under a car-board box. The old man was shocked to see that a young boy like Jimmy, was out in the rain. When the old man asked Jimmy what the trouble was, Jimmy answered him and said. "Well sir? it all started when I asked my school teacher what was in the old purple house across the street." With no response to Jimmy's answer, the old man kicks Jimmy out of the box and into the rain. So Jimmy walks down the side walk some more, and when he looks across the street, he sees the old purple house. With much excitement, Jimmy runs over to it, but before he reached it,...."BAM!!!!!!"....he was hit by a car and killed........The moral to this story is........
