The other asked in surprised, "What are you doing?"
He answered, "I'm asking my coat to eat food. I am wearing my old clothes. You don't look me. You don't ask me to sit down. Now I'm in these clothes. And you give me very good food. Now I see, you give the food to my clothes, not to me!"
5: It was twelve o'clock on an evening, four visitors were in a Paris hotel. They went out for the whole day. Now they were very tired. They lived on the 49th floor. But the hotel manager told them the lift didn't work and they must use the stairs.
The four people were very sad about the news, but there were nothing they could do. They agree to tell each other some interesting stories on the way up the stairs. It would make the thing easier.
The firte man began to tell a story. It was very long and when he finished, they reached the 13th floor. The second and the third man also told their own stories. Then they reach the 39th floor, Now it was the fourth man's turn. Suddenly he stopped. "Why? Cen't you think of a story" asked his three friends.
"Oh,yes," he answered, "I can! But if I tell you my story, you won't like it."
"And story will be OK," said the other friends.
The fourth man said, "All right, then I'll tell you a very short story and it is the saddest one you' ve heard. I have left the keys of our rooms downstairs on the manager's desk."
6: John is a famous writer now. But he said he was not a good student when he was young, He was often late for class and didn't like doing his homework. Sometimes, he slept in class while the teacher was teaching. He didn't understand much, but he always thought he understood everything, One day the teacher asked the students a question, "When Jack was ten years old, his brother Bob is twice as old as Jack, so he is now thirty."
Another time, the teacher in a science class asked, "When it thunders, why do we always seee the light before we hear the sound?"
"But, Miss," said John quickly, "don't you know our eyes are in front of our ears?" |
