    A funny story
    Once upon a time there was a man and a woman living in a town. One day the man got up early to light the fire and it would not light. His wife also tried to light it and she could not. At last the man said "For the toss of a pin I would light it the right way" he went out for a bucket of water and threw it on the fire, now he said "Let it light if it likes"
