    Once upon a time, there was a farmer. One day, while he was working in the fields, he saw a hare run into a tree stump accidentally and die of a broken neck. The farmer took the hare home and cooked a delicious meal for himself.  That night he thought, I needn't work so hard. All I have to do is wait every day by the stump to pick up the hare that runs into it. So from then on he gave up farming, and stood by the tree stump waiting for the hare to come and run into it.  But from then on, he never saw another hare run into the tree stump.

Dick likes apples very much and he wants to eat one, his mother gives him four and says, "Go to wash them in the kitchen." Dick Washes the apples and then gives them to his mother. His mother says, "Which apple do you want, Dick?

    "The biggest one, Mummy."

    "What?" says his mother. "You should be polite and want the smallest one."

    "Should I tell a lie just to be polite, Mummy?"
