Penny Saved

After tucking their three-year-old child Sammy in for bed one night, his
parents heard sobbing coming from his room.

Rushing back in, they found him crying hysterically. He managed to tell
them that he had swallowed a penny and he was sure he was going to die.
No amount of talking was helping.

His father, in an attempt to calm him down, palmed a penny from his
pocket and pretended to pull it from Sammy's ear. Sammy was delighted.

In a flash, he snatched it from his father's hand, swallowed, and then
cheerfully demanded, "Do it again, Dad!"
