  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there lived a man and he had two pets a monkey and a goat. Everywhere the man went the pets followed him. One day he went for a swim and the pets followed him. He took some sandwiches with him. After a bit the monkey got hungry and tried for something to eat. He found the sandwiches and eat them all. When he had finished the meal he rubbed the crumbs to the goats whiskers. When the man came for the sandwiches he could find nothing. He noticed the crumbs on the goats whiskers and he beat him well but he was far out.
