one time there was a boy who did terrible in school. He was in the ninth grade His father, knowing that no colledge would accept him if he continued this way, decided to do something about it. He came up to his son and said, "Boy, if you get straight As this year ill buy you whatever you want." so the boy tried and worked hard and got his straight As. "well, you did it. what do you want son?" he asked. "i want 1000 ping pong balls." the father thought that was strange but was happy that he had those As.
Another year came and the father told the son the same thing. The year ended with straight A's again. "well, you did it. what do you want son?" asked the father. "I would like 10,000 ping pong balls." the father thought this was strange but did it anyway.
His 11th grade year came and gone. Also with straight As. "well, you did it again. what do you want son?" asked the father. "I would like 101,542 ping pong balls." the father thought this was really strange but did it anyway, just as he had the years before.
His senior year came and finished with the boy graduating at the top of his class. The father was very proud to see his boy up there. After the graduation the father came up to the son and said. "well, you finished school. You got As after all those years of nothing. Im so proud of you. Well, you did it again this year so, what would you like?" he asked. "Well, dad. i would like 987,432 ping pong balls." "are you sure you want that son? your going out into the world now. Wouldnt you like a car?" the father asked. "No, just those ping pongs." so, he got his ping pong balls.
A coupel years went by and the son got married. The father came up to him and told him that him and his mother were getting a little lonely and would like to hear the little pitterpatter of feet on the floor. He told him that if they could get some grandkids soon then he would get him whatever he wanted. So nine months went by and they had a little baby boy. THey named it george. The father came up and asked the son what he wanted. "i want 2,563,994 ping pong balls." "son, you have a family now. you need to be thinking of them. not some ping pong balls." the father pleaded. But the son wanted them so the father gave them to him.
Years passed and the son got in an auto accident. He was dying and the father came to talk to him in the hospital. They talked for a good long while. The father decided to ask the son a question that had been bothering him for quite some time. "Son, i need to ask you something. All of those ping pong balls. What did you do with them. I need to know." "well, dad. ill tell ya. I.........................." and the son died.
