    This better ???

    A Boy Comes Down To Breakfast.


    Since They Live On A Farm, His Mother Asks If He Had Done His Chores.

    'not Yet' Said The Boy.

    His Mother Tells Him No Breakfast Until He Does His Chores.

    Well He's A Little Ticked Off. So He Goes To Feed The Chickens, And He Kicks A Chicken.

    He Goes To Feed The Cows, And He Kicks A Cow.

    He Goes To Feed The Pigs And He Kicks A Pig.

    He Goes Back In For Breakfast And His Mother Gives Him A Bowl Of Dry Cereal.

    'how Come I Don't Get Any Eggs And Bacon? And Why Don't I Have Any Milk In My Cereal?' He Asks.

    'well,' His Mother Says, 'i Saw You Kick A Chicken, So You Don't Get Any Eggs For A Week.

    I Saw You Kick The Pig So You Don't Get Any Bacon For A Week.

    I Saw You Kick The Cow, So For A Week You Aren't Getting Any Milk.'

    Just Then, His Father Comes Down For Breakfast And Kicks The Cat Half Way A Cross The Kitchen.

    The Boy Looks Up At His Mother With A Smile And Says, 'you Going
    To Tell Him, Or Should I?

      When training new employees, I like to use the breakfast analogy to explain the difference between involvement and commitment.

      At the breakfast table, the chicken is involved but the pig is committed...
