    Default Kevin Rudd visits a primary school

    Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was visiting a primary school, and he went into one of the classes.

    They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.

    The teacher asked the Prime Minister if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy''.

    So our illustrious leader from Queensland asked the
    class for an example of a "tragedy''.

    One little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a "tragedy''

    'No,' said Kevin from 'that would be an accident'.

    A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying fifty children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a "tragedy''

    'I'm afraid not,' explained the Prime Minister 'That's what we would call a great loss.'

    The room went silent. No other children volunteered.

    Kevin from Queensland searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of "tragedy''?

    Finally, at the back of the room, a small boy raised his hand... In a quiet voice he said: 'If the airplane carrying you and Ms Gillard was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a "tragedy''.

    'Fantastic!' exclaimed Kevin from Queensland. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?'

    'Well,' says the boy 'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a f___ing accident either'.
