  Last week, my four-year-old daughter, Sally, was invited to a children’s birthday party and I decided to take her by subway. Sally was very excited because she had never been on the subway before. She sat by the window and asked questions about everything she saw. Suddenly, a middle-aged lady sat opposite Sally. “Hello, little girl,” she said. Sally didn’t answer at first but looked at her curiously. The lady was dressed in a blue coat and a large hat. The train left the station and the lady took out a makeup bag and began to put on some makeup on her face.

  “Why are you doing that?” Sally asked her, speaking at last.

  “To make myself beautiful,” the lady answered. She put away    12    makeup bag and smiled kindly at Sally.

  “But you are still ugly,” Sally said

  Sally was amused, but I was very embarrassed!

  It was Christmas, and there was a big party in the house. Guests came and went, but the party continued. Then the bell rang. Several people shouted, “Come in!” and a short man opened the front door and came in. Nobody knew him, but the host went to meet him and took him   11    the bar for a drink. The man sat there happily for an hour and a half, drank and talked. Then suddenly he stopped and looked at his host. “You see,” he said, “I’m your neighbor, but nobody invited me to this party. I don’t know you, I don’t know your wife and I don’t know any of your guests. My wife,    12    is waiting for me in our car, just wanted us to go to the cinema, but one of your guests’ cars was in front of our gate, so I came here to find the driver!”

  A certain old gentleman was very unhappy about modern education, and thought that young people nowadays were not being taught the importance of knowing the difference between right and wrong

  One day he was taking a walk in the park near his home when he saw some young boys standing around a small cat. The old gentleman went up to the boys and asked them what was happening. One of the boys said to him, “We’re having a contest. We’re telling lies, and the one who tells the biggest one gets to keep the cat.”

  The old gentleman thought that this was a good opportunity to teach the boys a useful lesson, so he said to them, “I’ve never told a lie in my life.” All at once there was a great shout from all the boys, and they said, “You’ve won! You can take the cat!”
