A boy is doing poorly in kindergarten..

A boy is doing poorly in kindergarten. His father says to him, "If you can bring your grades up and keep them for an entire year, I'll buy you anything you want."

The boy agrees to this. For one whole year, he keeps his grades high. At his kindergarten graduation, the boy's father says, "All right, we made a deal. What do you want?"

"Golf balls." replies the boy. "A bag of golf balls."

The father is a bit puzzled, but he gets the golf balls.

The next year, they agree to do the same deal--keep his grades up and he'll get anything he wants. The boy keeps his grades up. First grade graduation, he asks his father, "I want golf balls."

This continues every year--the father will strike a deal with his son, the son will keep his grades up, he can get anything he wants. Each and every year, he asks for golf balls.

It is the end of the senior year in high school. The boy's father takes his son out to a restaurant to celebrate his graduation. "All right son, this year is it. What do you want?"

"Golf balls."

"Look, son, every single year from kindergarten to twelfth grade, you've asked me for golf balls. Not this year. I'm getting you a car"

"No, dad, I want golf balls."

"You're getting a car and that's final."

Shocked and upset, the boy runs out of the restaurant. He runs into the street and is hit by a truck.

The father rushed out in time to see the truck collide with his son's body. He races over to the boy, who is barely breathing. "Son, son, I'm so sorry!" He is crying. He knows the boy will not live. " Just answer me this one question before you go. What did you want will all those golf balls?

The boy looks up at his father, draws one final breath, and dies.
