Antiklimaks

Hierdie storie het my kamermaat op universiteit vertel. Dit het in hulle Duitse skooltjie in die platteland van Natal gebeur, waar baie kinders op plase grootgeword het.

During the Literacy lesson, the teacher turns to Johnny.

Miss Bacon: “Johnny, could you tell me what a climax is?”

Johnny: “A windmill, Miss!”

Miss Bacon: “No Johnny, a climax is the point of greatest intensity or force in an ascending series or progression; a culmination.”

The teacher then goes into a great deal more detail to explain the meaning of this important word.

After lunch the same class is assembled and again Miss Bacon turns to Johnny.

Miss Bacon: “Johnny, I’m sure we all now understand the word ‘climax’. Would you explain to me the meaning of the word ‘anticlimax’?”

Johnny: “Yes Miss, I know. It’s a broken windmill Miss!”
