"Betty," called the teacher, "tell me the meaning of the word 'trickle'."
"To run slowly" said Betty.
"Quite right," said the teacher. "Now tell me the meaning of the word 'anecdote'."
"A short funny tale," said Betty.
"Good girl," said the teacher. "Now let me see if you can give me a sentence with both those words in it."
Betty thought for a moment: "Yes, I know," she said. "Our dog trickled down the street wagging his anecdote."
