  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Two boys saved a man from drowning. The man gave them a box of pills to take. After taking one of the pills a person would be invisible for two hours.
    The boys took a pill each. They meet a a goat and gave her a pill. Near by there was a woman spreading clothes on a line. The goat began to snap the clothes. The woman could see nothing only the clothes disappearing and hear the boys laughing. She ran into the house and locked the door. When she came out after a long time the clothes were all gone.
