Leo Rosten himself2.
In the recass was som students asking if is right to say Its Me or Its I – because maybe we will have that question in axemination). Its Me or its I – a planty hard question, no? Yes.
But it isnt so hard if we are thinking about! I figgure in this way:
If somebody is in hall besides my door, and makes knok, knok, knok, so I holler netcheral „Whose there“? Comes the anser „Its Me.“ A fine anser!! Who is that Me anyho? Can I tell? No! So is Its Me no good.
Again is knok, knok, knok. And again I holler „Whose there“? Now comes the anser „Its I.“ So who is now that I?? Still can I (Kaplan) tell?? Ha! Umpossible! So is Its I rotten also.
So it looks like is no anser. (Turn around paige)
As Mr. Parkhill turned the page „around“ (Mr. Kaplan had interpreted „a one-page composition“ with characteristic generosity), he could see how, put that say, the problem of „Its Me“ or „Its I“ was a very Gordian knot.
But must be som kind anser. So how we can find him out??? BY THINKING ABOUT. (Now I show how Humans isnt Enimals)

If I am in hall and make knok, knok, knok, and I hear insite (insite the room) somebody hollers „Whose there“? – I anser strong „Its Kaplan!“!!
Now is fine! Plain. Clear like gold, no chance miximg up Me, I, Ect.
By Thinking is Humans making big edvences on Enimals. This we call Progriss.
T-H-E E-N-D
Only after he had read the composition twice did Mr. Parkhill notice that there was a postscript to this expedition into the realm of pure logic. It was like the signature to a masterpiece.
ps. I dont care if I dont pass, I love the class.
