A Boy and an Apple Tree One time, there lived a big apple tree and a boy who liked

to play around under the apple tree everyday. He was happy to climb up to the top of the tree, eat the fruit, a nap in the shade of the shade leaves. The boy loved the apple tree. Similarly, the apple tree is very love little boy too. Time flies. The boy had grown big and no longer playing with the apple tree every day. One day he went to the apple tree. His face looked sad. Come over here and play with me, said the apple tree. Im not a little kid playing with the tree again, replied the boy. I want to have toys, but Im not having money to buy it. The tree replied, Sorry, but I did not have money but you can take all of my fruit and sell it. You can get the money to buy toys. The boy was very happy. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. However, after that the boy never came back. The tree was sad again. One day the boy returned again. Tree was so excited. Come play with me anymore, said the apple tree. I do not have the time, replied the boy. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Will you help me? Sorry, but I dont have a house. But you can cut down all of my branches to build your house, said the apple tree. Then the boy cut all of the branches and twigs that apple tree and left happily. The tree was also felt happy to see the boy happy, but the boy never came back again. The tree was lonely and sad again. One hot summer day, the boy returned again. The tree was delighted. Come and play again with me, the tree said. Im sad, said the boy. Im old and want to live in peace. I want to go on vacation and sailing. Will you give me a boat to cruise? Sorry, but I dont have a boat, but you may cut my trunk and use it to create a ship that you want. Go sailing and have fun. Later, the boy cut the tree trunk and makes a dream ship. He then went sailing and never again came to the apple tree. Finally, the boy returned again after all these years later. Im sorry my son, said the apple tree. I do not have apple for you anymore. Its okay. I also have no teeth to bite your fruit, replied the boy. I dont have a trunk and branches you can climb, said the apple tree. Now, Im too old for that, replied the boy. I really do not have anything more can I give to you. What remains is my roots old and dying,

said the apple tree with tears. I do not need anything else right now, said the boy. I just need a place to rest. I was so tired after all these years. Oooh, very nice. Do you know? The root of old trees is the best place to lie down and rest. Come, lay in the arms of my roots and rest in peace. The boy lay in the arms of tree roots. The tree was glad and smiled with tears in his eyes

Once upon a time, there lived as neighbours, a bear and a rabbit. The rabbit is a good shot. In contrary, the bear is always clumsy ad could not use the arrow to good advantage. narrative text - bos-sulap.blogspot.com One day, the bear called over the rabbit and asked the rabbit to take his bow and arrows and came with bear to the other side of the hill. The rabbit was fearing to arouse the bear's anger so he could not refuse it. He consented and went with the bear and shot enough buffalo to satisfy the hungry family. Indeed he shot and killed so many that there was lots of meat left after the bear and his family had loaded themselves and packed all they could carry home. narrative text - bos-sulap.blogspot.com The bear was very gluttonous and did not want the rabbit to get any of the meat. Th e rabbit could not even taste the blood from the butchering as the bear would throw earth on the blood and dry it up. The poor rabbit would have to go home hungry after his hard day's work. narrative text - bos-sulap.blogspot.com The bear was the father of five children. The youngest child was very kind to the rabbit. He was very hearty eater. The mother bear always gave him an extra large piece of meat but the youngest child did not eat it. He would take it outside with him and pretended to play ball with the meat. He kicked toward the rabbit's house and when he got close to the door he would give the meat with such a great kick. The meat would fly into the rabbit's house. In this way, the poor rabbit would get his meal unknown to the papa bear.

The Perfect Husband Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: "Hello" WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?" MAN: "Yes" WOMAN: "I'm at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?" MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much." WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2007 models. I saw one I really liked." MAN: "How much?" WOMAN: "$80,000." MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options." WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing. The house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000." MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000." WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!" MAN: "Bye, I love you, too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment. Then he smiles and asks: "Anyone know whose phone is???!!!"

Read the passage One day I was setting in the local library, I started to read a medical encyclopedia that was lying on the table in front of me. The first illness I read about was cholera. As I read the list of symptoms, it occurred to me that perhaps I had cholera myself. I sat for a while, too frightened to move. Then, in a kind of dream, I started to turn the pages of the book again. I came to malaria. Yes, there was no doubt about it I had malaria too. And I certainly had hepatitis. And yellow fever. And so it went on. I read through the whole book, and by the end I came to the conclusion that I had every illness. There was only one illness I didnt have and that was housemaids knee. I sat and thought, and I became more and more worried. I wondered how long I had to live. I examined myself. I felt my pulse. At first, I couldnt find it at all; then, suddenly it seems start off. I looked at my watch to time it it was beating 147 times a minute. I tried to feel my heart. I couldnt feel it. It wasnt beating. I stuck my tongue out and tried to look at it. I could only see the end of it, but from that I was even more certain than before that I had yellow fever. I went straight to my doctor, who was a good friend of mine. Whats the matter with you? he asked. I have every illness in the medical encyclopedia. I told him how I read the medical encyclopedia. Then he opened my mouth and looked at my tongue, and he felt mu pulse, and he listened to my heart. Then he sat down and wrote a prescription. It said:

3 good meals every day A two-mile walk every day morning Be in bed at 11 oclock every night Dont read medical books!

I followed the doctors instructions, and I am happy to say that I now feel quite well again.
