  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    One day Mrs Smith and her son James were walking along the road in Hilleeter. The woman lay down and told the boy not to let any insects disturb or waken her while she was sleeping. The boy saw a fly on her nose and he got a big stick and went to kill the fly with it but instead of killing the fly he broke his mothers nose.
