  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a book-seller
    asked a customer to buy a book from
    him. The customer inquired of him
    what description of books he was
    selling. The book-seller said "would you buy the life of saint John".? "No"
    replied the customer "I have that at home.
    "You are wrong" said a neighbour who was standing by "you have not the life of a dog at home".
