Little Johnny was standing at the side of a river, weeping. His tears are streaming down his cheeks. An elderly lady passes by and feels pity for him. "What is the matter, young boy? Why are you crying?"
"It's mean!" Little Johnny sniffed, "My daddy drowned all four little kittens we had yesterday!"
"That's awful indeed!" the lady replied angrily, "Your father is a real monster!"
"Yes," said Johnny, "He had promised to me that I could do it."
