suddenly one of the men wakes up and see him."what are you doing?"he says angrily.
"oh,"says john,"don't worry about me. i am half mad, and i do a lot of strange things."
"oh, really?"says the other man,"then why don't you sometimes take grapes out of your baskets and put them in somebody else's basket?"
"you did not understand me,"says john,"i said that i was only half mad." |
