    A Funny Story
    30/11/38
    There was once a man who used to walk through a grave yard late at night. When this night, some men went to play a trick on him. They went to the grave yard and one of them got into a hole and started roaring. When the man came he asked him why he was roaring he said he was cold so the other man covered the hole with clay saying "You won't be cold now." You may be sure they did not try to make sport again.
