  The Tragedy  

George W. Bush was visiting an elementary school, and the 4th grade class he sat through began a discussion related to words and their meanings.
      
      The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the class in a discussion of the word "tragedy." So, George W. asked the class for an example of a tragedy.
      
      One boy stood up and said, "If my best friend who lives next door is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy."
      
      "No," said Bush, "that would be an accident."
      
      A girl raised her hand and said, "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone on board, that would be a tragedy."
      
      "I'm afraid not," the President said. "That's what we would call a Great Loss."
      
      The room went silent. No other children volunteered. President Bush searched the room and asked, "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
      
      Finally, way in the back of the room, Johnny raised his hand, and in a quiet voice, he said, "If Air Force One, carrying Mr. and Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, THAT would be a tragedy."
      
      "That's right! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" asked the President.
      
      "Well," Johnny said, "because it wouldn't be an accident and it sure wouldn't be a Great Loss..."
