  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a man and his wife living together in a house. One day a man came and the husband took the man out to see the farm and the crops. The husband said "all that is mine". When the man went away the woman said to her husband " you should not say "all that is mine" but you should say "all that is ours". So the next morning when the man was getting up he was looking for his trousers and the woman asked him what he was looking for. He said he was looking for "our" trousers.
