..... and is talking to the children. He asks them "Now who can tell me what a tragedy is?"

Jimmy puts up his hand and says "If two cars full of people crash into each other and die"

"No" Brian Cowen said. "That would be an accident".

Johnny puts up his hand and says "If a bus full of children fulls over a cliff"

"No" Brian Cowen said. "That would be a great loss".

Jack puts up his hand and says "If you and Mr. Lenihan were in a government helicopter and got killed by friendly fire".

"Yes" Brian Cowen said. "And how did you work that out?"

"Well," Jack said. "It would hardly be a great loss, and probably not an accident either!"
