  1. (continued from previous page)
    it was all about. In the finish he was attracted by a strange looking thing, which was a mirror. When he saw himself he did not know who it was at first but in the end he knew all. So he said to himself that he would buy it for to see himself often. When he got it he put it in his pocket and told nobody. Going home that night now and then he would take it out and look at himself, and the same when he went home. Anyway his wife thought it was a photo of a girl and she got jealous. She waited that night until he was gone to bed. Then she looked at it and said who ever she is, she is not much.
