B. ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Our kindergarten class went to the fire station for a tour and some instruction in fire safety. The fireman was explaining what to do in case of a fire. He said, "First, go to the door and feel the door to see if it's hot." Then he said, "Fall to your knees. Does anyone know why you ought to fall to our knees?"

He removed his watch and placed it on the dock so it wouldn't get wet. To make sure it wouldn't fall into the water, he decided to anchor it around a nail. He held the nail against the wood in the center of the band, and with one deft blow he smashed his watch to pieces. Submitted by Lorraine
