Empty

A little girl went up to her mother one day while holding her stomach saying, "Mommy, my stomach hurts."
Her mother replied, "Betsy, that's because it's empty, you have to put something into it!"
She then prepared a bowl of soup for her little gir to eat.
Later that day when their church pastor and his wife were over for dinner, the pastor began to feel bad. Holding his head he said, "Gee, I have such a terrible headache!"
The little girl looked up at him, giving him the sweetest smile that any little child could give. Then she said....
. . . "That's because it's empty, you have to put something into it!"
