  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    A little boy lived near Dingle and he was very young. A few days after he went to school he said "Teacher, I ain't got no pencil". The teacher correcting his grammar, said "I have no pencil, you have no pencil, we have no pencils". The little boy replied "And where are all the pencils gone then?"
