:The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees
had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent
problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the
employee's home phone number and was greeted with a
child's whisper. ' Hello ?
'Is your daddy home?' he asked.
' Yes ,' whispered the s mall voice.
May I talk with him?'
The child whispered, ' No .'
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss
asked, 'Is your Mommy there?' ' Yes .'
'May I talk with her?' Again the small voice
whispered, ' No .'
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a
message, the boss asked, 'Is anybody else there?'
' Yes ,' whispered the child, ' a policeman '.
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's
home, the boss as ked, 'May I speak with the
policeman?'
' No, he's busy ', whispered the child.
'Busy doing what?'

background through the earpiece on the phone, the boss
asked, 'What is that noise?'
' < I>A helicopter ' answered the whispering voice.

team just landed a helicopter .'
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss
asked, 'What are they searching for?'
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a
muffled giggle... ' ME
