The Story of Jack Horner
-
Eating a Christmas pie.
Still on timeout from the previous years, he was given a Christmas pie. -
He put in his thumb.
Still in the corner, with the pie that has aged over the years, he was bored and wanted to see if the pie was moldy. -
And pulled out a plum.
His thumb had gotten stuck, and took several years to free from the pie. -
And said, "What a good boy am I!"
Despite his remark, he is actually a very old man at this point in time.
