A Story.Once upon a time there was a fellow at school this day. He had a blot in his copy, and the master asked him, what was it for, and he said it was a pig, and the master told him not to call it a pig but a blot. He had a comma after a word, and the master asked him what was it for, and he said , it was a tail,. The master told him not to call it a tail, but a comma. The next day the boy was absent, and when he came to following day, the master asked him what kept him, and he said, "My father was killing a blot, and I had to hold him by the comma"Told by my father.
