    It was the first lesson after the summer holidays at a small school. The lesson was about theseasons of the year, the teacher said:

    They are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. In Spring, it is warn and everything begins togrow. In Summer it is hot and there are many flowers in the fields and gardens. In Autumn thereare many vegetables and much fruit. Everybody likes to eat fruit. In Winter it is cold and it oftenrains. Sometimes there is snow on the ground.

    Here the teacher stopped and looked at one of the pupils.

    Stop talking, Tom, he said. When is the best time for apples?

    It is when the farmer is not at home and there is no dog in the garden. Answered Tom.

    THE CARJACKING

    An elderly woman did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act ofleaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags, drew her handgun, and proceeded toscream at them at the top of her voice,

    I have a gun and I know how to use it! Get out of the car, you scumbags!

    The four men didnt wait for a second invitation but got out and ran like mad. The woman,somewhat shaken, proceeded to load her shopping bags in the back of the car and get into thedrivers seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and

    tried, to no avail/

    And then it dawned on her why. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or fivespaces father down. She loaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station.The sergeant, to whom she told the story, nearly tore himself in two the other end of the counter,where four pale males were reporting a carjacking by a mad elderly woman described as white,less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.

    No charges were filed.

    The magician & the parrot

    A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. He has a different audience eachweek, so he allowed himself to perform the same act over and over again. There was only one

    problem: The captains parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how themagician did every trick.

    Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of every show.Look, thats not the same hat!

    Now hes hiding the flowers under the table!

    Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades?

    The magician was furious but couldnt do anything about it. After all, it was the captains parrot.One day the unthinkable happened: The ship had an accident and sank! The magician foundhimself on a piece of wood in the middle of the ocean with the parrot of course!They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a single word. This went on for days.

    After a week the parrot finally broke the silence and said, Ok, I give up, Whered you hide theboat?

    The office rules

    Bill Jenkins worked in a big office in the city, and generally he used to go to the barbers during

    working hours to have his hair cut, although this was against the rules: clerks had to have theirhair cut in their own time.

    While Bill was at the barbers one day, the manager of the office came in by chance to have hisown hair cut. Bill saw him and tried to hide his face, but the manager came and sat beside him, sohe soon recognized him.

    Hullo, Jenkins, the manager said. I see that you are having your hair cut in office time,

    Yes, sir, I am, admitted Bill calmly. You see, sir, it grows in office time.

    Not all of it, said the manager of the office at once. Some of it grows in your own time.

    Yes, sir, thats quite true answered Bill politely, but Im not having it all cut off.

    Gifts for mother

    Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. They discussed the gifts they wereable to give their elderly mother.

    The first son said: "I built a big house for our mother

    The second son said: "I sent Mom a Mercedes with a driver".

    The third son said: "You remember how our mother enjoys reading the Bible. Now she cant seevery well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. The Elders at the churchspent twelve years to teach him. Mama just has to name the chapter and the verse and the parrotrecites it".

    Soon thereafter, their mother sent out her letters of thanks.

    William, she wrote, "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to cleanthe whole house".

    Arnold, she said, "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use theMercedes. That driver is so rude, he is a pain!

    "But David, she said, "the chicken was delicious

    Three blonde guys are stranded on one side of a wide river and dont know how to get across.

    The first blonde guy prays to God to make him smart enough to think of a way to cross the river.God turns hom into a brown-haired man, and he swam across.

    The second blonde guy prays to God to make him even smarter, so he can think of a better way tocross the river. God turns him into a red-haired man, so he builded a boat and rows across.

    Nothing but the truth- S tht vn l s tht

    David Casstevents of the Dallas Morning News tells a story about Frank Szymanski, a Notre

    Dame center in the 1940s, who had been called as a witness in a civil suit at South Bend.Are you on the Notre Dame football team this year? the judge asked.

    Yes,Your Honor.

    What position?

    Center, Your Honor.

    How good a center?

    Szymanski squirmed in his seat, but said firmly:

    Sir, Im the best center Notre Dame has ever had.

    Coach Frank Leahy, who was in the courtroom, was surprise. Szymanski always had been modestand unassuming. So when the proceedings were over, he took Szymsnski aside and asked why hehad made such a statement. Szymanski blushed.

    I hated to do it, Coach, he said.But, after all, I was under oath.

    One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the expresspurpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on thefarm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the fatherasked his son, "How was the trip?"

    "It was great, Dad."

    "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

    "Oh yeah," said the son.

    "So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

    The son answered:

    "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of ourgarden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and theyhave the stars at night.

    Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece ofland to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, butthey serve others.

    We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, theyhave friends to protect them."

    The boy's father was speechless.

    Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

    Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanksfor everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

    Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!

    Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective andappreciation."Life is too short and friends are too few."

    Whenever a Man Lies

    One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into theriver. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"

    The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water. The Lord went down into the water andreappeared with a golden axe.

    "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.The woodcutter replied, "No."

    The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."

    The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.The woodcutter replied, "Yes."

    The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and thewoodcutter went home happily.

    One day while he was walking with his wife along the riverbank, the woodcutter's wife fell intothe river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?" "OhLord, my wife has fallen into the water!"

    The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is this your wife?" theLord asked.

    "Yes," cried the woodcutter.

    The Lord was furious. "You cheat! That is an untruth!"

    The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I said 'no'

    to Jennifer Lopez, You will come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I also say 'no' to her. Youwillthirdly come up with my wife, and I will say 'yes,' and then all three will be given to me. ButLord, I am a poor man and I will not be able to take care of all three wives, so that's why I saidyes this time."

    The moral of the story is whenever a man lies it is for an honorable and useful reason !!

    A Sense of GeeseWhen you see geese flying along in V formation, you might consider what science hasdiscovered as to why they fly that way . As each bird flaps its wings , it creates an uplift for the

    bird immediately following. By flying in V formation, the whole flock adds at least 71 percent

    greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

    People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are goingmore quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust of one another.

    When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go italone- and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird infront.

    If we has as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those people who are headedthe same way we are.When the head goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point.

    It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs, whether with people or with geese flying south.Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.What messages do we give when we honk behind ?

    Finally- and this is important - when a goose gets sick or is wounded by gunshot, and falls out of

    formation, two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection.They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies; and only then do they launch

    - Tokyo Square say you will

    Say you will,say you will be mineI just keep missing you tonightI feel so unsure,I feel so alone

    I just don't dare to open my eyes

    Into deep,going in too deepI can't get you out of my mindBaby no matter just how hard I tryI don't want to be alone tonight

    Won't you be my guilding lightLead the way to be by your side

    Won't you be my star tonightI need more than a neon light

    Only love

    2 a.m. and the rain is fallingHere we are at the crossroads once againYou're telling me you're so confused

    You can't make up your mindIs this meant to beYou're asking me

    But only love can say - try again or walk awayBut I believe for you and meThe sun will shine one daySo I'll just play my partAnd pray you'll have a change of heart

    But I can't make you see it throughThat's something only love can do

    Say you will,say you will be mineI just keep missing you tonightI feel so unsure,I feel so aloneI just don't dare to open my eyes.

    In your arms as the dawn is breakingFace to face and a thousand miles apartI've tried my best to make you seeThere's hope beyond the pain

    If we give enough, if we learn to trust

    But only love can say - try again or walk awayBut I believe for you and meThe sun will shine one daySo I'll just play my partAnd pray you'll have a change of heartBut I can't make you see it throughThat's something only love can do

    I know if I could find the wordsTo touch you deep insideYou'd give our dream just one more chanceDon't let this be our good-bye

    But only love can say - try again or walk awayBut I believe for you and me

    The sun will shine one daySo I'll just play my partAnd pray you'll have a change of heartBut I can't make you see it throughThat's something only love can do

    That's something only love can do .
