A clever boy
John
is ten years old and a smart boy. Most of the students in the class are not
very good at math, but John usually answers the teacher's questions very
well. Last Tuesday, the teacher said to the class, "Now I'm going to
give you a math exercise, I'll ask you a question, then say a name, and the
boy or girl has to answer the question. Now there are five euros
seventy-three cents in the left pocket and three euros twenty-seven cents in
the right pocket. How much is that? Peter? Maria? Helen?" For a long time
it was very silent in class. Then the teacher said, "John, what is the
answer?" John answered quickly: "These are not my pants!"

2)
Mr Miller
Mr
Müller had been working in an office for twenty years, but then he lost his
job because he started doing everything wrong. His wife sent him to the
doctor, who asked him a lot of questions for an hour and then told him that
there were two different persons in him fighting against each other, that he
would send him to the hospital for a week and then examine him again. The
doctor gave him a bill for twenty euros. Mr Miller took ten euros out of his
pocket, gave them to the doctor, and then said to him, "Get the other
half from the other person. I will not pay for him!"

1)
Two shirts
Mr
Miller is sixty-five, and his wife sixty-one years old. He is small and thin,
and she big and fat. She is not a happy person, always criticizing everyone
and everything, and her husband more than anyone else. She always tells
neighbours that he's never doing anything right. Last month, she told her
husband to look at his shirt because there were two holes in the collar and
that she would buy him some new shirts. She went to the shop that afternoon
and bought him three new shirts. The next morning, Mr Miller had put on one
of them and came into the kitchen. Mrs Miller looked at him and then shouted
angrily: "And what about the other two shirts? Don’t you like
them?"

Wonderflight
Many
years ago, Wonderflight was a small, very new company. It had very little
money and her planes were very old. Mr Black once flew with Wonderflight.
That day he went to the airport, got into the Wonderflight plane and waited.
After a few minutes there was a lot of noise, the captain came out and
shouted that he would not fly the plane because one of the engines was broken
and the company would not get a new one. The passengers got out. An hour
later, a flight attendant said that the plane was ready again. The passengers
boarded the plane again. "Have you got a new engine?" Mr Black
asked the flight attendant. "No, but we have a new captain," she
replied.

2)
The same cat
Susan
and John are twins. They are ten years old, and in the same class at school.
A few weeks ago, the English teacher said that she had not given them any
homework for a long time and that they should write an essay on "Our
Cat" at the weekend. She asked everyone whether they had a cat at home
and every child nodded. The pupils wrote the essay and gave it to the teacher
the following Monday. She read the essays and then returned them to the
pupils on Tuesday. "Susan," she said, "you have the same essay
as your brother." "Yes," Susan replied quickly. "It's the
same cat, too!"

1)
An old woman
An
old woman lived alone in her house because her husband had died. Once she
fell down the stairs, injuring her left leg very badly. She called her
sister, who came to take her to the doctor by car. The doctor having cleaned the wound bandaged it. He then told the old lady that her leg had to be spared
for some time and she was not supposed to walk up and down the stairs for
some weeks. The woman visited the doctor every week for about a month, and
then he told her that her leg was well again. "That's very good,"
the old woman said happily. "I hate the daily climbing up and down on
the rainwater drainpipe to my bedroom."
