Little Johnny, always the entrepreneur, had a brilliant idea to make some money. He decided to sell toothbrushes. When it was finally his turn to share his results with the class, everyone eagerly awaited to hear how much money he had made.
As Little Johnny confidently walked to the front of the classroom, he dumped a box filled with cash onto the teacher’s desk. “$2,467!” he proudly exclaimed. The teacher, shocked and amazed, couldn’t believe her ears. “What in the world were you selling?”, she asked in disbelief.
Little Johnny replied with a mischievous grin, “Toothbrushes!” The whole class erupted in laughter, unable to comprehend how toothbrushes could possibly generate that much profit.
Perplexed, the teacher questioned Little Johnny, “How on earth did you manage to sell enough toothbrushes to make that kind of money?” Little Johnny explained his secret strategy with excitement.
“I found the busiest corner in town,” he proclaimed. “I set up a Dip and Chip stand where I offered free samples to everyone who passed by. The catch? The Dip and Chip sauce tasted like dog crap!” The class burst into laughter once again.
Little Johnny continued, “Once they tasted the sauce, they would exclaim, ‘Hey, this tastes like dog crap!’ That’s when I would reply, ‘It is dog crap. Wanna buy a toothbrush?’” His classmates couldn’t help but be amazed by his clever business approach.
With a mischievous grin, Little Johnny concluded, “I used the government’s approach of giving you something crappy for free, and then making you pay to get the taste out of your mouth.” The class erupted in laughter once again, inspired by Little Johnny’s ingenious idea.
Little Johnny’s toothbrush business showcases his creativity and ability to think outside the box. With his unique approach, he not only made a substantial amount of money but also provided entertainment for his classmates. Little Johnny’s story reminds us that sometimes, unconventional ideas can lead to success and laughter.
