What is a Tragedy

     President Clinton was visiting an elementary school and he asked the class if they could give an example of a tragedy. One little girl said if a boy chased a ball into the street and got run over by a car that would be a tragedy.
     Clinton said that would be an accident and not a tragedy.
     A little boy said that if a school bus ran off the road and fell down a ravine killing everyone on board that would be a tragedy.
     Clinton said that he thought it would be a great loss but not a tragedy.
     Another kid said that if someone blew up the plane on which President and Mrs. Clinton were flying that would be a tragedy.
     President Clinton agreed and asked why that would be a tragedy.
     The kid said that it would not be an accident and would not be a great loss so it must be a tragedy.
