Sally sits at the table in frustration. She puts her hands to her face and exclaims, "Apples! Oranges! Pears!" "Who cares?"<BR><BR> She walks off very angry into the living-room, paper in hand.<BR><BR> She approaches Charlie Brown sitting in the chair reading. She says, "Hey, big brother, if you'll help me with my homework, I'll be eternally grateful!"<BR><BR> He follows her and says, "Fair enough...I've never had someone be eternally grateful to me before...."<BR><BR> She looks puzzled as they sit at the table and he looks at the paper. He continues, "So all you do is subtract four from ten, and that tells you how many apples the farmer had left"<BR><BR> He looks at her as she looks at the paper. Shaken, she says, "You mean that's it?! I have to be eternally grateful for that?!!"<BR><BR> She yells, "I WAS ROBBED! I CAN'T BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR THIS! IT WAS TOO EASY!!"<BR><BR> She follows him down the hallway as he says, "Well, whatever you think is fair..." She asks, "How about if I just say, 'Thanks, Bro'?"<BR><BR> Charlie Brown, in his winter clothes, joins Linus outside the house, who is also in his winter clothes. Linus stands at the bottom of the steps looking up as Charlie Brown walks down them. He asks, "Where've you been, Charlie Brown?" Charlie Brown replies,"Helping my sister with her homework"<BR><BR> They walk down the snow-covered lane. Linus asks, "Did she appreciate it?" Charlie Brown replies, "At greatly reduced prices!"<BR><BR>
