  2. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    A very long time ago a new child came to the school. The Nun asked her name and age, but she did not know her parents' name or what he worked at. The Nun told her to bring it all written down on a slip of paper. The next morning the child was called up and the Nun asked her for the message. The little girl said my mother said it is news you are looking for.
