A school teacher was trying to im- press upon his pupil's mind that Col- umbus discovered America in 1492, so he said: "Now, John, to make you remember the date when Columbus discovered America, I will make it rhyme so you won't forget it. 'Colum- bus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.' Now, can you remember that, John?" "Yes, sir," replied John. The next morning when he came to school his teacher said: "John, when did Columbus discover America?" "Columbus sailed the dark blue sea in 1493." |
