THE EGG PROMISE

Two brothers were getting ready to boil some eggs. "I’ll give you a dollar if you let me break three of these on your head," said the older one.

"Promise?" asked the younger.

"Promise!"

Gleefully, the older boy broke two eggs over his brother’s head.

Standing stiff for fear the gooey mess would get all over him, the little boy asked, "When is the third egg coming?"

"It’s not," replied the brother. "That would cost me a dollar."
