- A Funny Story
Once upon a time there lived a very rich man and he had a motorcar. One day he drove into a very big city. He got out of the motor to do some messages and there was a poor man standing on the street. The rich man asked him to know would he take care of his motor while he was doing some messages. The poor man said he would. While he was away the motor ran away. When he came back he asked the poor man where was his motor and he say. "Me can't know. Me can't tell. Me pressed the button and it ran like hell".
