Little Johnny Essay, Research Paper

Little Johnny was 7 years old, and like other boys his age, rather

curious. He had been hearing quite a bit about courting from other

boys and he wondered what it was and how it was done. One day he took

his questions to his mother, and she became flustered. Instead of

explaining things to Johnny she told him to hide behind the curtains

one night and watch his older sister and her boyfriend. This he did,

and the following morning Johnny described everything to his mother.

Sis and her boyfriend sat and talked for awhile, then he turned off

most of the lights. Then he started to kiss and hug her, I figured sis

must be getting sick because her face started looking funny. He must

have thought so too because he put his hand inside her blouse to feel her

heart, just like the doctor would. Except he’s not as good as the

doctor, because he seemed to have trouble finding her heart.

He was getting sick too, because pretty soon both of them started

panting and getting all out of breath. His other hand must have been getting cold because he put it under her skirt. About this time, sis got toward the end of the couch. This was when the fever started. I know it was a fever because sis told him she was really HOT. Finally, I found out what was making them so sick….a big eel had gotten in side his pants somehow. It just jumped out of his pants and stood there about 9 inches long. HONEST! Anyway, he grabbed it in one hand to keep it from getting away. When sis saw it she got

really scared. Her eyes big and her mouth fell open, and she started calling out to God

and stuff like that. I should tell her about the ones I saw at the lake! “Anyway”, sis got brave and tried to kill the eel by biting its head off. All of a sudden, she made a noise and let the eel go. I guess it bit her back. Then she grabbed it with both hands and held it tight

while he took a muzzle out of his pocket and slipped it over the eels head to keep

it from biting again. Sis lay back and spread her legs so she could get a scissor lock on

it. And he helped by laying on the top of the eel. The eel put up a hell of a fight. Sis started groaning and squealing and her boyfriend almost upset the couch. I guess they wanted to kill the eel by squishing it between them. After a while they both quit moving and gave a great sigh. Her boyfriend sat up and sure enough they had killed the eel… I knew it was dead because it just hung there limp and some of its insides were

hanging out. Sis and her boyfriend were a little tired from the battle, but they went on courting anyway. He started hugging and kissing her again. And by golly, the eel wasn’t dead after all. It jumped straight up and started to fight again. I guess eels are like cats…. they have nine lives or something. This time sis jumped up and tried to kill the eel by sitting on it. After about 35 minutes of struggle, they finally killed the eel. I know it was dead this time because I saw sis’s boyfriend peel off the skin and flush it down the toilet.

Mother fainted.
