Truck

A truck was speeding down a highway as it came to a curve in the road. It was going too fast to make the turn. The truck hit the side of the road and overturned. Out came everything it was carrying sixty thousand hamburgers!
Students from a nearby school ran over to the truck. The driver said, “If you will pick up all these small boxes of hamburgers, I’ll give your school a present.” The students spent five hours picking up the hamburgers. The hamburgers were saved, and the driver gave the school $300. The money was used to buy equipment for the playground.
