Deer Hunting

George and his friend Peter were fond of deer hunting, and whenever they had a free day during the deer hunting season, they took their guns and went off into the forest.

One Saturday they were sitting on a log eating their sandwiches and drinking their coffee when they saw a man walking through the snow towards them. He was dressed in deer hunting clothes, but he had no gun with him. When he got nearer, the two friends saw that he was following a deer’s track in the snow. They were both very surprised to see a man tracking a deer without a gun, so when he reached them, they stopped him and asked him whether anything was wrong and whether they could help him. The man sat down beside them, accepted a cup of coffee and told them his story.

Like them, he had gone out deer hunting that morning with a friend. They had seen a deer with very big horns, and had followed it for some time. Then he had fired at it, and it had fallen just where it stood. He and his friend had run over to examine it, and he had said to his friend, “This deer’s horns will make a wonderful rack for my guns when I get it home.” He had then arranged his gun in the deer’s horns and stepped back a few yards to see exactly how they would look as a gun rack on the wall of his study. He had been admiring the effect when the deer had suddenly jumped up, shaken itself and raced away, carrying his gun firmly stuck in its horns.

After You...

Jack was young, rich, and fond of girls. He hardly ever did any work, and spent most of his time enjoying himself.

One summer he bought a big motor-boat. As soon as it was ready to go to sea, he telephoned to one of the girls he had met somewhere, and invited her for a trip in his new motor-boat. It was the first of many successful invitations of this kind.

The way Jack used to invite a girl for a trip in his boat was like this : He would begin by saying, “Hullo, Laura (or whatever the girl’s name was). I have just bought a beautiful new motor-boat, and I would like to take you out for a trip in it.”

The girl’s answer was usually cautious, because everybody in that part of the country knew Jack’s reputation with girls. She would say something like this : “Oh, really? That’s nice. What name have given to the boat?”

Jack would then answer, “Well, Laura, I have named it after you.”

Of course, the girl would feel very proud that Jack had chosen her name for the boat out of the names of all his many girl-friends, and she would think that Jack must really love her. She would therefore be quite willing to accept his invitation to go for a trip in his motor-boat.

It would not be until she got down to the harbor and actually saw the boat that she would understand how cleverly Jack had tricked her. Because there in neat body letters on the boat she would see its name “AFTER YOU”.

The Genie

A Frenchman, an Englishman, and a German were travelling in a boat from France to Australia. Unfortunately, the boat sank but the three men swam to a small island. There was nobody on the island and it was thousands of kilometers from Australia. The men waited for another boat to come but none came. After two months they were very unhappy.

“We will have to live here forever,” said the Englishman.

“We will have to eat bananas every day,” said the German.

“We will never see our families again,” said the Frenchman.

One day the German found an old bottle on the beach. He took the bottle o his two friends. When he opened the bottle a genie came out. The genie said to the three man, “Thank you for letting me out of the bottle. I was inside that bottle for five hundred years. Now I am free. I can give you two wishes each.”

The German said, “I am hungry and thirsty. I want some sausage to eat and some beer to drink. Secondly, I want to go back to Germany”

“Your wishes are granted,” said the genie.

Five seconds later the German disappeared.

Next the Frenchman said, “I am hungry and thirsty, I want some cheese to eat and some wine to drink. Secondly I want to return to my family in France.”

“Your wishes are granted,” said the genie.

Five seconds later the Frenchman disappeared.

“And what do you want?” the genie said to the Englishman.

The Englishman thought for a few minutes. The he said,”……………………..”

“It’s lonely here now. Will you bring back the German and the Frenchman, please…”

Nasreddin Story

Most of Nasreddin’s neighbours were pleasant people, who were always ready to help each other when they were in trouble, but there was one woman who lived in his street who was disliked by everybody because she was always interfering in other people’s business, and because she was always borrowing things from people and then forgetting to give them back
Early one morning, Nasreddin heard a knock at his front door, and, when he opened it, found this woman outside. “Good morning, Nasreddin,” she said. “I have to take some things to my sister’s house in the town today, and I have not got a donkey, as you know. Will you lend me yours ? I will bring it back this evening.”
“I am sorry,” answered Nasreddin. “If my donkey was here, I would of course lend it to you very willingly, but it is not.”

“Oh?” said the woman. “It was here last night, because I saw it behind your house. Where is it now?”

“My wife took into town early this morning,” answered Nasreddin. Just then the donkey brayed loudly.
“You’re not telling the truth, Nasreddin!” the woman said angrily. “I can hear your donkey. You should be ashamed of yourself, telling lies to a neighbour!”
“You are the one who should be ashamed, not me!” shouted Nasreddin. “Is it good manners to believe a donkey’s word rather than that of one of one’s neighbour?”
