  1. A Funny Story
    A poor man and his wife lived in a hut in a mountain district. His wife got ill and he went for a doctor.
    The doctor arrived and examined the patient. He asked her husband for a pen and ink, they had none in the house. So he had nothing to do but write the prescription on the door with some chalk which he had in his pocket. He told the man to copy it off the door and go for some medicine for her.
