Definition of Tragedy

[Super Nova]

Julia Gillard was visiting a Sydney primary school and the class was in
the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.

The teacher asked Ms Gillard if she would like to lead the discussion on
the word 'Tragedy'.

So our illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a 'Tragedy'.

A little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm,
is playin' in the field and a tractor runs
over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.'

'Incorrect,' said Gillard. 'That would be an accident.'

A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying fifty children
drove over a cliff, killing everybody inside,
that would be a tragedy.'

'I'm afraid not',explained Gillard, 'that's what we would refer to as a
great loss'.

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Gillard searched the
room.

'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'

Finally, at the back of the room, little Johnny raised his hand and said:

'If a plane carrying you and Mr. Rudd and Mr. Swan and Mr. Garrett was struck

by a 'friendly fire' missile & blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.'

'Fantastic' exclaimed Gillard, 'and can you tell me why that would be a
tragedy?'

'Well', said Johnny, 'it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't
be a great loss, and it certainly wouldn't be a fucking accident either!'

IQ can you lay off the comments about beastility? It's very boring - as well as offensive.
