Fortunately, he was quick-witted, so that every time his life was threatened, he managed to escape. One of his greatest enemies was Crocodile, who lived in the river that bordered the forest. Many times Crocodile had tried to capture the small mouse deer. Crocodile was big, but he was not very clever. Kancil was able to trick him every time. One day it was very hot. There was no wind at all to refresh the thirsty plants and trees of the forest. It was in the middle of the dry season. For many weeks no rain had fallen so that the little creeks where the small animals used to drink had dried up. Kancil was walking alone in the forest; he was very thirsty. He had walked a long way; looking for a brook where he could quench his thirst, but he had found only dry mud in the once gay rippling brooks. It was very quiet in the forest. All the animals seemed to sleep. Even the birds did not sing in the trees. Kancil finally decided to go to the river that bordered the forest. Usually he avoided going there as he knew that Crocodile was always on the look-out for him, waiting for an opportunity to catch him. When he arrived at the river. Kancil looked cautiously around him. There was no body to be seen. The clear river water mirrored blindly the rays of the sun. step by step Kancil approached the water. His sharp eyes looked right and left; his pointed ears strained to catch the slightest sound. But no danger seemed to threaten him this time. Relieved, he bent his head to enjoy the cool water. Suddenly, his glance fell upon an object that was floating not far away from where he stood. It was a blackish thing. It looked like a fallen branch ………. Or, like the back of crocodile! Kancil jumped back, surprised and thoughtful. But he was also very thirsty. How could he possibly know whether the thing there in the river was really a log or a crocodile? Then he smiled a little as he hit upon an idea. In a clear voice he shouted, “ Hey! There, you who are in the river. If you are crocodile, don’t answer me, but if you are only a long of wood, tell me your name!” Now it was really Crocodile who was floating in the river. He had seen Kancil approaching and he was waiting for him to bend his head to drink. At the very moment when Kancil did not look. Crocodile would catch him. Without thinking any further, Crocodile answered Kancil in his gruff voice, “Don’t be afraid, I’m only a harmless log!” Immediately, Kancil ran away as fast as his leg could carry him, while shouting over his shoulder, “O, stupid Crocodile, have you ever heard a log of wood talk?” A fortnight later, however, Kancil forgot this incident. The dry season was not over yet and it seemed to be hotter than ever. Kancil remembered the cool, fresh river water. How wonderful it would be take a bath in it! He decided to try his luck once again. This time there was nothing suspicious to be seen, so Kancil went to the water and drank to his heart’s content. It was very quite, and also very hot. Without thinking any further Kancil went down into the river and began to splash himself. In his delight he forgot all about danger. He pick up a dry twig that was floating by and began to beat the water with it. He made so much noise that he woke up….who else, but old crocodile who was sleeping in the neighborhood. “Well, well, this seem to be my lucky day,” thought Crocodile. In a flash he shot out of his hiding place and all of a sudden. Kancil felt sharp teeth biting into one of his legs. It hurt him very much, but though he was shocked and frightened Kancil did not lose his wits. Without hesitation he dipped the dry twig into the water and in a mocking tone he said, “stupid old log of wood, do you really think you have got me? It is only a twig you have in your mouth, not my leg. Here is my leg’ catch it if you can!” Kancil moved the twig rapidly to and in front of Crocodile’s eyes. Crocodile could not see very well in the water and above all, he really was blockhead! He believed the clever tal of the little mouse deer, released kancil’s leg and snapped his jaw on the twig. Of course, kancil did not wait one second to jump out of the water and run to the safety of the woods. Though his leg was very sore, he laughed heartily. Once more he had tricked Crocodile. 2.Sincere Will Get a Great Return Once upon a time, there was a kingdom named Auretto, all people lived peacefully there.

This made Maria very unhappy. “I have no parents or brothers or sisters,” she said. “You too are alone. I am sure we could be happy together.” “I didn’t want to tell you this,” the young man said, “but I am an anito. I cannot marry a human being. I have to return to the sky.” Maria was surprised. She did not know what to say. She held his hands tightly. “please let me go,” said the young man. “I had hoped you would never find out who I am.” There was a blinding flash of light and the young man disappeared.

Unhappy she was, for her mother was dead, her father had married another woman, a widow with two daughters, and her stepmother didnt like her one little bit. All the nice things, kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own daughters. And not just the kind thoughts and love, but also dresses, shoes, shawls, delicious food, comfy beds, as well as every home comfort. All this was laid on for her daughters. But, for the poor unhappy girl, there was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes, nothing but scraps. No nice rests and comfort. For she had to work hard all day, and only when evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fire, near the cinders. That is how she got her nickname, for everybody called her Cinderella. Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone talking to the cat. The cat said, Miaow, which really meant, Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters have and that is beauty. It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in rags with a dusty gray face from the cinders, was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes, were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be. One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at Court and the stepsisters were getting ready to go to it. Cinderella, didnt even dare ask, What about me? for she knew very well what the answer to that would be: You? My dear girl, youre staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the floors and turn down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy. Cinderella sighed at the cat. Oh dear, Im so unhappy! and the cat murmured Miaow. Suddenly something amazing happened. In the kitchen, where Cinderella was sitting all by herself, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared. Dont be alarmed, Cinderella, said the fairy. The wind blew me your sighs. I know you would love to go to the ball. And so you shall! How can I, dressed in rags? Cinderella replied. The servants will turn me away! The fairy smiled. With a flick of her magic wand... Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress, the loveliest ever seen in the realm. Now that we have settled the matter of the dress, said the fairy, well need to get you a coach. A real lady would never go to a ball on foot! Quick! Get me a pumpkin! she ordered. Oh of course, said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy turned to the cat. You, bring me seven mice! Seven mice! said the cat. I didnt know fairies ate mice too! Theyre not for eating, silly! Do as you are told!... and, remember they must be alive! Cinderella soon returned with a fine pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he had caught in the cellar. dongeng cinderella dalam bahasa inggrisGood! exclaimed the fairy. With a flick of her magic wand... wonder of wonders! The pumpkin turned into a sparkling coach and the mice became six white horses, while the seventh mouse turned into a coachman, in a smart uniform and carrying a whip. Cinderella could hardly believe her eyes. I shall present you at Court. You will soon see that the Prince, in whose honor the ball is being held, will be enchanted by your loveliness. But remember! You must leave the ball at midnight and come home. For that is when the spell ends. Your coach will turn back into a pumpkin, the horses will become mice again and the coachman will turn back into a mouse... and you will be dressed again in rags and wearing clogs instead of these dainty little slippers! Do you understand? Cinderella smiled and said, Yes, I understand! When Cinderella entered the ballroom at the palace, a hush fell. Everyone stopped in mid-sentence to admire her elegance, her beauty and grace. Who can that be? people asked each other. The two stepsisters also wondered who the newcomer was, for never in a month of Sundays, would they ever have guessed that the beautiful girl was really poor Cinderella who talked to the cat! When the prince set eyes on Cinderella, he was struck by her beauty. Walking over to her, he bowed deeply and asked her to dance. And to the great disappointment of all the young ladies, he danced with Cinderella all evening. Who are you, fair maiden? the Prince kept asking her. But Cinderella only replied: What does it matter who I am! You will never see me again anyway. Oh, but I shall, Im quite certain! he replied. Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball... But, all of a sudden, she heard the sound of a clock: the first stroke of midnight! She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word of goodbye she slipped from the Princes arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke of midnight were to sound... oh... what a disaster that would be! Out she fled and vanished into the night. The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up her slipper and said to his ministers, Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fits. I will never be content until I find her! So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of all the girls... and on Cinderellas foot as well... Surprise! The slipper fitted perfectly. That awful untidy girl simply cannot have been at the ball, snapped the stepmother. Tell the Prince he ought to marry one of my two daughters! Cant you see how ugly Cinderella is! Cant you see? Suddenly she broke off, for the fairy had appeared. Thats enough! she exclaimed, raising her magic wand. In a flash, Cinderella appeared in a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in amazement, and the ministers said, Come with us, fair maiden! The Prince awaits to present you with his engagement ring! So Cinderella joyfully went with them, and lived happily ever after with her Prince. And as for the cat, he just said Miaow! 6. Pinocchio In a large pine forest in the country Italy , lonely .

Hansel and Gretel Once upon a time a very poor woodcutter lived in a tiny cottage in the forest with his two children, Hansel and Gretel. His second wife often ill-treated the children and was forever nagging the woodcutter. There is not enough food in the house for us all. There are too many mouths to feed! We must get rid of the two brats, she declared. And she kept on trying to persuade her husband to abandon his children in the forest. Take them miles from home, so far that they can never find their way back! Maybe someone will find them and give them a home. The downcast woodcutter didnt know what to do. Hansel who, one evening, had overheard his parents conversation, comforted Gretel. Dont worry! If they do leave us in the forest, well find the way home, he said. And slipping out of the house he filled his pockets with little white pebbles, then went back to bed. All night long, the woodcutters wife harped on and on at her husband till, at dawn, he led Hansel and Gretel away into the forest. But as they went into the depths of the trees, Hansel dropped a little white pebble here and there on the mossy green ground. At a certain point, the two children found they really were alone: the woodcutter had plucked up enough courage to desert them, had mumbled an excuse and was gone. Night fell but the woodcutter did not return. Gretel began to sob bitterly. Hansel too felt scared but he tried to hide his feelings and comfort his sister. Dont cry, trust me! I swear Ill take you home even if Father doesnt come back for us! Luckily the moon was full that night and Hansel waited till its cold light filtered through the trees. Now give me your hand! he said. Well get home safely, youll see! The tiny white pebbles gleamed in the moonlight, and the children found their way home. They crept through a half open window, without wakening their parents. Cold, tired but thankful to be home again, they slipped into bed. Next day, when their stepmother discovered that Hansel and Gretel had returned, she went into a rage. Stifling her anger in front of the children, she locked her bedroom door, reproaching her husband for failing to carry out her orders. The weak woodcutter protested, torn as he was between shame and fear of disobeying his cruel wife. The wicked stepmother kept Hansel and Gretel under lock and key all day with nothing for supper but a sip of water and some hard bread. All night, husband and wife quarreled, and when dawn came, the woodcutter led the children out into the forest. Hansel, however, had not eaten his bread, and as he walked through the trees, he left a trail of crumbs behind him to mark the way. But the little boy had forgotten about the hungry birds that lived in the forest. When they saw him, they flew along behind and in no time at all, had eaten all the crumbs. Again, with a lame excuse, the woodcutter left his two children by themselves. Ive left a trail, like last time! Hansel whispered to Gretel, consolingly. But when night fell, they saw to their horror, that all the crumbs had gone. Im frightened! wept Gretel bitterly. Im cold and hungry and I want to go home! Dont be afraid. Im here to look after you! Hansel tried to encourage his sister, but he too shivered when he glimpsed frightening shadows and evil eyes around them in the darkness. All night the two children huddled together for warmth at the foot of a large tree. When dawn broke, they started to wander about the forest, seeking a path, but all hope soon faded. They were well and truly lost. On they walked and walked, till suddenly they came upon a strange cottage in the middle of a glade. This is chocolate! gasped Hansel as he broke a lump of plaster from the wall. And this is icing! exclaimed Gretel, putting another piece of wall in her mouth. Starving but delighted, the children began to eat pieces of candy broken off the cottage. Isnt this delicious? said Gretel, with her mouth full. She had never tasted anything so nice. Well stay here, Hansel declared, munching a bit of nougat. They were just about to try a piece of the biscuit door when it quietly swung open. Well, well! said an old woman, peering out with a crafty look. And havent you children a sweet tooth? Come in! Come in, youve nothing to fear! went on the old woman. Unluckily for Hansel and Gretel, however, the sugar candy cottage belonged to an old witch, her trap for catching unwary victims. The two children had come to a really nasty place. Youre nothing but skin and bones! said the witch, locking Hansel into a cage. I shall fatten you up and eat you! You can do the housework, she told Gretel grimly, then Ill make a meal of you too! As luck would have it, the witch had very bad eyesight, an when Gretel smeared butter on her glasses, she could see even less. Let me feel your finger! said the witch to Hansel every day to check if he was getting any fatter. Now, Gretel had brought her brother a chicken bone, and when the witch went to touch his finger, Hansel held out the bone. Youre still much too thin! she complained. When will you become plump? One day the witch grew tired of waiting. Light the oven, she told Gretel. Were going to have a tasty roasted boy today! A little later, hungry and impatient, she went on: Run and see if the oven is hot enough. Gretel returned, whimpering: I cant tell if it is hot enough or not. Angrily, the witch screamed at the little girl: Useless child! All right, Ill see for myself. But when the witch bent down to peer inside the oven and check the heat, Gretel gave her a tremendous push and slammed the oven door shut. The witch had come to a fit and proper end. Gretel ran to set her brother free and they made quite sure that the oven door was tightly shut behind the witch. Indeed, just to be on the safe side, they fastened it firmly with a large padlock. Then they stayed for several days to eat some more of the house, till they discovered amongst the witchs belongings, a huge chocolate egg. Inside lay a casket of gold coins. The witch is now burnt to a cinder, said Hansel, so well take this treasure with us. They filled a large basket with food and set off into the forest to search for the way home. This time, luck was with them, and on the second day, they saw their father come out of the house towards them, weeping. Your stepmother is dead. Come home with me now, my dear children! The two children hugged the woodcutter. Promise youll never ever desert us again, said Gretel, throwing her arms round her fathers neck. Hansel opened the casket. Look, Father! Were rich now . . . Youll never have to chop wood again. And they all lived happily together ever after. 8.Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves Ali Baba was such a poor man that he had only one shoe for his two feet. Even the mice in his house were hungry. One day, his wife said, We have no food in the house. No rice. No potatoes. Go and collect leaves in the forest so that I can make a soup. Ali was a lazy man. He looked for leaves for about ten minutes and then he climbed a tree to sleep. He was afraid of wolves. When he woke up, he was surprised to see forty thieves on forty horses. They stopped in front of a big rock. Open Sesame! shouted the leader. A door on the rock opened. The thieves carried sacks full of gold into the cave. When they had finished, the leader shouted. Close Sesame! and the door closed. As soon as the thieves had disappeared Ali Baba jumped down from the tree, said, Open Sesame and went into the cave. There were shelves all around the walls. The shelves were full of sacks. And the sacks were full of gold. Ali took a sack home with him. Unfortunately, one of the thieves saw Alis footprints on the sand. He followed them to Alis home. He took out his knife and made a cross on the door. Now I shall know which house it is, he said. He rode off to get the other thieves. But Ali had seen the thief. He and his wife took brooms and swept away the footprints. Then he made crosses on every door at the street. When the forty thieves arrived they had their knives between their teeth. But they couldnt find either Ali – or the gold. And Ali and his wife lived happily ever after. 9.The rabbit’s tail story Many years ago, rabbits had long tails, not short ones, and crocodiles had tongues. One such long-tailed rabbit lived near a pond. He drank water from the pond and the grass nearby. Now, in the pond lived a crocodile. The crocodile saw the rabbit eating grass and drinking water, and he thought how nice it would be to eat the rabbit. One day the crocodile swam very close to the edge of the pond. He lay still in the water, hoping that the rabbit wouldn’t see him. When the rabbit came to drink , the crocodile opened his mouth wide. Then he closed it with a snap. The rabbit was caught between the crocodile’s sharp teeth! Of course, the rabbit was very frightened, but he did not want the crocodile to know this. “I’m not afraid of you,” said the rabbit. “I’m only afraid of animals that roar. Everyone knows that crocodiles can’t roar, so you can’t frighten me. When the crocodile heard this, he became very angry. He wanted to show the rabbit that he could roar as fiercely as a tiger. And so, the crocodile opened his mouth to roar. When the crocodile opened his mouth, the clever rabbit jumped free. As he jumped, the rabbit’s sharp toe-nails caught the crocodile’s tongue and tore it out. The crocodile tried to catch the rabbit again, but his great teeth only snapped off the end of the rabbit’s tail. Again and again the crocodile tried to catch the rabbit, but the rabbit was too quick for him. Sometimes the crocodile caught a piece of the rabbit’s tail, but he could never roar at the rabbit because he had lost his tongue. That is why rabbit today have short tail, and crocodiles have no tongue. Narrative A Narrative text is a text that Tells a story.

So one day he called her doctor to make an appointment to have her hearing checked. The Doctor made an appointment for a hearing test in two weeks, and meanwhile theres a simple informal test the husband could do to give the doctor some idea of the state of her problem. “Heres what you do,” said the doctor. “Start out about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.” That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and hes in the living room. He says to himself, “Im about 40 feet away, lets see what happens.” Then in a normal tone he asks, “Honey, whats for supper?” No response. So the husband moved to the other end of the room, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “Honey, whats for supper?” Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, “Honey, whats for supper?” Again he gets no response. So he walks up to the kitchen door, only 10 feet away. “Honey, whats for supper?” Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. “Honey, whats for supper?” “Damn it Earl, for the fifth time, CHICKEN!” joe-ks/archives_nov2003/For_Supper.htm “Bad Dream” Once there was a couple sleeping.

Pretty soon all the other bats smelt the blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He told them to piss off and let him get some sleep, but they persisted until he finally gave in. “OK, follow me,” he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a huge forest. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats were excitedly around him with their tongues hanging out for blood. “Do you see that large oak tree over there?” he asked. “YES, YES, YES!!!!” the bats all screamed in a frenzy. “Good!” said the first bat, “Because I didn’t.” sekolahoke/2011/01/spoof-text-vampire-bat.html The Perfect Husband Several men are in the locker room of a golf club.

The Zoo Job One day a clown was visiting the zoo and attempted to earn some money by making a street performance. He acted and mimed perfectly some animal acts. As soon as he started to drive a crowd, a zoo keeper grabbed him and dragged him into his office. The zoo keeper explained to the clown that the zoos most popular gorilla had died suddenly and the keeper was fear that attendance at the zoo would fall off. So he offered the clown a job to dress up as the gorilla until the zoo could get another one. The clown accepted this great opportunity. So the next morning the clown put on the gorilla suit and entered the cage before the crowd came. He felt that it was a great job. He could sleep all he wanted, played and made fun of people and he drove bigger crowds than he ever did as a clown. He pretended the gorilla successfully. However, eventually the crowds were tired of him for just swinging on tires. He began to notice that the people were paying more attention to the lion in the next cage. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he decided to make a spectacular performance. He climbed to the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the top to the lions cage. Of course, this made the lion furious, but the crowd people loved it. At the end of the day the zoo keeper came and gave him a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this went on for some time, he kept taunting the lion, the audience crowd grew a larger, and his salary kept going up. Then one terrible day happened. When he was dangling over the furious lion, he slipped and fell into the lion cage. The clown was really in big terrible situation. He was terrified. Sooner the lion gathered itself and prepared to pounce. The clown was so scared. He could do nothing and he began to run round and round the cage with the lion close and closer behind. Finally, the lion could catch him. The clown started screaming and yelling, Help me, help me!, but the lion was quick and pounces. The clown soon found himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and suddenly he heard a voice from the lion’s mouth;Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?. “We Dont Subscribe to Any Newspaper” Mike was a university student. He studies history.

Wow...that looks deep. One replied,Sure does... toss a few pebbles in there and we will see how deep this hole is. Then they pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait... no noise Geeez. That is really deep... here.. throw one of these great big rocks down there. Those should make a noise. After that, they pick up a couple football-sized rocks and toss them into the hole and wait... and wait. but no noise they heard. Wow.. They were really impressed with how deep hole it was. They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, Hey...over here in the weeds, theres a railroad tie. Help me carry it over here. When we toss that sucker in this hole, its must make some noise. The two men drag the heavy tie over to the hole and heave it in. But, not a sound comes from the hole. Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as its legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole. The goat disappeared into the deep hole. The two men are astonished with what theyve just seen. How could a goat jump into the hole? Then, not long after that, out of the woods comes a farmer. He seemed to seek something and asked to the two men, Hey two guys... have you seen my goat out here? Feeling amazing with what they saw of a goat jumping to the hole, they answer straightly,You bet we did! Craziest thing Ive ever seen! A goat came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole! The farmer thought a moment and said, That could not have been my goat. Because my goat was chained to a railroad tie. Then he left the two men. “Abu Nawas and the King Aaron” The king wanted to test Abu Nawas’ smartness. So he invited Abu Nawas to the palace. “You want me, your Majesty?” greeted Abu Nawas. “Yes, you have fooled me three times and that’s too much. I want you to leave the country. Otherwise you will have to go to jail” said the king. “If that is what you want, I will do what you said” said Abu Nawas sadly. Then “Remember, from tomorrow you may not step on the ground of this country anymore” the king said seriously. Then Abu nawas left the king palace sadly. The following morning the king ordered his two guards to go to Abu Nawas’ house. The guards were very surprised found Abu Nawas still in his house. He had not left the country yet. Instead leaving the country, Abu Nawas was swimming in small pool in front of his house. “Hey Abu Nawas, why haven’t you left this country yet? The king ordered you not to step on the ground of this country anymore, didn’t he?” said the guards. “Sure he did” answered Abu Nawas calmly. “But look at me! Do I step on the ground of this country? No, I do not step on the ground. I am swimming on the water” continued Abu Nawas. The guards were not able to argue with Abu Nawas so they left Abu Nawas’ house and went back to the palace. The guards reported what they had seen to the king. The king was curious on Abu Nawas’ excuse not to leave the country. Therefore the king ordered his guard to call Abu Nawas to come to the palace. Abu Nawas came to the palace on stilts. The king wondered and said “Abu, I will surely punish you because you haven’t done what I have said. You have not left this country”. The King continued “And now, look at you. You walk on stilts like a child. Are you crazy? The king pretended to be furious. “I remember exactly what you said, Your Majesty” Abu Nawas answered calmly. “This morning I took a bath in the small pool in my house so that I had not to step on the ground. And since yesterday, I have been walking on this stilts. So you see, Your Majesty, I do not step on the ground of this country”. The king was not able to say anything.

Where’s number nine?” Abu Ali cried He jumped down from his donkey. He looked behind the rocks and behind the trees. But there was no donkey to be seen. “I’ll count them again,” Abu Ali said. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Oh, he must have come back.” So Abu Ali climbed back on to the donkey and trotted away. After a while he counted his donkeys again. He counted only eight! Once more he looked behind the rocks and behind the trees. But there was no donkey to be seen. “I will count again,” he said, and this time there were nine.

When I stop to count I have only eight, but when I get down looking for the ninth, there he is again!” “Well, I can see ten donkeys, Abu Ali,” laughed Musa. “And the tenth donkey’s name is Abu Ali” Loving Money Too Much There was a man who liked money very much. He worked all of his life and wanted to save all of his money for his own future. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything. Even, just before he died, he said to his wife; Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife.

The wife was sitting there in black clothes next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said Wait just a minute! She had a box in her hands. She came over with the box and placed it in the casket. After that the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Not long after that, her friend said, I hope you were not crazy enough to put all that money in the casket. The wife turned to her friend and replied; Yes, because I have promised. Then she continued; I cant lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him. Feeling shocked, her friend said; You mean that you have put every cent of his money in the casket with him? Then the wife answered; Surely I did.
