text

Geoffrey Hampden has a large circle of

friends and is very popular at parties.

Everybody admires him for his fine sense

of humor--everybody, that is, except his

six-year-old daughter, Jenny. Recently,

one of Geoffrey's closest friends asked

him to make a speech at a wedding recep-

tion. This is the sort of thing that Geoffrey

loves. He prepared the speech carefully

and went to the wedding with Jenny. He

had included a large number of funny

stories in the speech and, of course, it was

a great success. As soon as he had finished,

Jenny told him she wanted to go home.

Geoffrey was a little disappointed by this

but he did as his daughter asked. On the

way home, he asked Jenny if she had enjoyed the speech. To his surprise, she

said she hadn't. Geoffrey asked her why this was so and she told him that she

did not like to see so many people laughing at him!
