A Funny Story
Once upon a time there lived a man who had a very nice thatched house but as there was a lot of grass growing on top of it he went to the fair one day and bought a nice little calf and put him up on the house to eat the grass. the little calf fell down through the house and broke his tail and if the tail were stronger the story would be longer.
