The Sunday after Christmas, the Sunday School teacher told her
students about an angel appearing to Joseph in a dream, warning him
about danger to the baby Jesus and telling him how to escape from
it.

After the story time, the students were given an opportunity to draw
a picture about the story.

Most of the pictures were predictable,
but
Larry's had an odd element in it.

"Larry, I see Joseph and Mary with the baby Jesus on a donkey, but
what is that following the donkey?

"It's the flea, teacher."

"Flea...? Ah...what flea?" asked the teacher.

To which the boy faithfully repeated the Bible verse:

"Take Mary and Jesus and flea to Egypt. There's Mary; there's Jesus;
and there's the flea."
