- There was once a little boy at school. One day when writing the master asked him had he the compisation finished. The boy said
"I have it all finished but to put in this tail"
The master told him not to call it a tail but to call it a comma. Next day the boy was at home from school. When he came back the master asked him what kept him at home. The boy said that his master was killing a pig and that he had to hold him by the comma.
