THE RED RIBBON
THERE ONCE WAS A MAN WHO MARRIED A PRETTY LADY. THIS LADY
WAS ALWAYS WEARING A RED RIBBON AROUND HER NECK. THE MAN
BEGGED HER TO TAKE IT OFF BUT HIS WIFE ALWAYS SAID, "YOU'LL
BE SORRY IF I DO SO I WON'T." BUT THE MAN CONTINUED TO
ASK HER. ONE NIGHT HIS CURIOSITY GOT THE BEST OF HIM.
HE WENT DOWNSTAIRS AND GOT THE SCISSORS. HE QUIETLY
SNIPPED THE RED RIBBON OFF HIS WIFE'S NECK. SUDDENLY,
HER HEAD FELL OFF. AND THEN THE HEAD SAID, "I TOLD YOU
YOU'D BE SORRY."
