    A Funny Story.
    Once upon a time a man was going to his neighbours house on his cuaird.It happened one night as he was going home he met a fairy.He lived a small distance from a graveyard.He spoke to the fairy."What is troubling you now?"said the man.The fairy said nothing but after a few minutes said to him"With what eye do you see me?"see you with my left eye said the man.When the man got up next morning he was blind in his left eye.It is never right to say anything to a fairy except he spoke it to you first.
