Crying By The River

A little boy is standing at the side of a river, weeping.

His tears are streaming down his cheeks.

An elderly lady passes by and feels pity for him.

- What is the matter, young boy? Why are you crying?

- It's mean! - the boy sniffed

- My daddy drowned all four little kittens we had yesterday!

- That's awful indeed! - the lady replied angrily

- Your father is a real bastard!

- Yes - said the little boy

- He had promised to me that I could do it.
