Prime Minister Tony Blair was visiting a primary school and he visited one
of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related towards
and their meanings.
The teacher asked the Prime Minister if he would like to lead the
discussion
on the word "tragedy". So the illustrious leader asked the class for an
example of a "tragedy".
One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a
farm, is playing in the field & a tractor runs over him and kills him,
that would be a tragedy" "No," said Blair, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying fifty children
drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explained the Prime Minister "That's what we would call
a great loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Tony searched the
room.
"Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of tragedy?"
Finally, at the back of the room, a small boy raised his hand...
In a quiet voice he said: "If the aeroplane carrying you and Mrs Blair was
struck by a ' friendly fire' missile & blown to smithereens, that would be
a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaimed Tony Blair. "That's right. And can you tell me why
that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy "It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly
wouldn't
be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a fu****g
accident either."
