Here's a funny one
Anastasia was climbing up on the table in her nursery and jumping off. The nurse said, "You musn't do that, Anastasia, it's too dangerous. You may jump off the chair if you'd like, but the table is too high."
But naughty little Nastya continued to jump off the table, so the nurse gave her a little slap. "A slap isn't nice, but it is better to jump off the table and get a slap then to jump off the chair and not get one!" said Anastasia, and she jumped off the table again!
Finally, her nurse pulled out a ribbon and tied Ana to the chair. "It is not nice to jump off the chair, but it is nicer to jump off the chair and not be tied up then to jump off the table and be tied up!"
I'm sorry if I didn't get it exactly right, I forget where I found it!
hope this helps
