The best time for apples It was the first lesson after the summer holidays at a small school. The lesson was about the seasons of the year, the teacher said: They are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. In Spring, it is warn and everything begins to grow. In Summer it is hot and there are many flowers in the fields and gardens. In Autumn there are many vegetables and much fruit. Everybody likes to eat fruit. In Winter it is cold and it often rains. 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. Ma tt nht cho to ang trong gi hc u tin sau k ngh h ti mt ngi trng nh. Bi hc ni v cc ma trong nm.

THE CARJACKING An elderly woman did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags, drew her handgun, and proceeded to scream 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 the drivers 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 five spaces 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.

He has a different audience each week, 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 the magician 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 found himself 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 the boat? o thut gia v con vt Mt o thut gia lm vic trn mt con tu ch cc hnh khch i du ngon trong vng bin Caribbean.

Dick was seven years old, and his sister, Catherine, was five. One day their mother took them to their aunts house to play while she went to the big city to buy some new clothes. The children played for an hour, and then at half past four their aunt took Dick into the kitchen. She gave him a nice cake and a knife and said to him, Now heres a knife, Dick. Cut this cake in half and give one of the pieces to your sister, but remember to do it like a gentleman, Like a gentleman? Dick asked. How do gentleman do it? They always give the bigger piece to the other person, answered his aunt at once. Oh, said Dick. He thought about this for a few seconds. Then he tool the cake to his sister and said to her,Cut this cake in half. Catherine. Nh mt ngi lch s? Dick ln by tui v em gi Catherine ca n ln nm.

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 their hair cut in their own time.

While Bill was at the barbers one day, the manager of the office came in by chance to have his own hair cut. Bill saw him and tried to hide his face, but the manager came and sat beside him, so he 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 were able 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 see very well. So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. The Elders at the church spent twelve years to teach him. Mama just has to name the chapter and the verse and the parrot recites 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 clean the whole house". Arnold, she said, "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home so I rarely use the Mercedes. That driver is so rude, he is a pain! "But David, she said, "the chicken was delicious

Len did not see Jim for a year, and then he heard from another friend that Jim was in town and staying at the central hotel, so he went to see him there late in the evening. He found out the number of Jims room from the clerk at the desk downstairs and went up to find him. When he got to the room, he saw Jims shoes outside the door, waiting to be cleaned. Well, he must be in, he thought, and knocked at the door. There was no answer. He knocked again. Then he said, I know youre in, Jim. Your shoes are out here.

The second blonde guy prays to God to make him even smarter, so he can think of a better way to cross 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 modest and unassuming. So when the proceedings were over, he took Szymsnski aside and asked why he had made such a statement. Szymanski blushed. I hated to do it, Coach, he said.But, after all, I was under oath. -David Casstevent S tht vn l s tht Nh bo David Casstevents ca t Tin bui sng Dallas k li cu chuyn v Frank Szymanski, mt trung phong ca i Notre Dame vo nhng nm 1940, ngi c gi n ta n vi t cch l nhn chng ca mt v n dn s xy ra ti South Bend.

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked 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 our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have 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 thanks for 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 and appreciation. "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 the river. 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 and reappeared 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 the woodcutter went home happily. One day while he was walking with his wife along the riverbank, the woodcutter's wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?" "Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!" The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is this your wife?" the Lord 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. You willthirdly come up with my wife, and I will say 'yes,' and then all three will be given to me. But Lord, I am a poor man and I will not be able to take care of all three wives, so that's why I said yes this time." The moral of the story is whenever a man lies it is for an honorable and useful reason !!

A Sense of Geese When you see geese flying along in V formation, you might consider what science has discovered 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 going more 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 it alone- and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front. If we has as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those people who are headed the 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
15

out on their own, or with another formation to catch up with their group. If we have the sense of a geese, we will stand by each other like that.

My wife makes all the small decisions, he explained. and I make all the big ones, so we never interfere in each others business and never get annoyed with each other. We have no complains and no arguments. That sounds reasonable, answered his friend sympathetically, And what sort of decisions does your wife make? Well answered the man. she decides what jobs I apply for, what sort of house we live in, what furniture we have, where we go for your holidays, and things like that. His friend was surprised. Oh! he said And what do you consider important decisions then? Well answered the man, I decide who should be Prime Minister, whether we should increase our help to poor countries, what we should do about the atom bomb, and things like that.

The witness said that the day before the prisoner had stolen some pears from a basket, outside a grocers. The solicitor said to the judge: It is true that the prisoner took a few pears with his right arm; his right arm is guilty, but not he himself; you can not punish the whole body because one of its limbs is guilty.
17

You are quite right, answered the judge, so I sentence the prisoners right arm to six days. Now the prisoner will go to prison with his arm if he likes. Everybody at court began to laugh; but people laughed still more when they saw the prisoner unscrew his right arm (it was a wooden arm) He then gave it to the judge, saying: Here is my guilty arm, Sir I dont wish to go to prison with it.

TAKE ME TO YOUR HEART (Michael Learns To Rock) Hiding from The Rain and Snow * Trying to forget but I won't let go Looking at a crowded street Listening to my own heart beat So many people all around the world Tell me where do I find someone like you girl [Chorus:] Take me to your heart, take me to your soul Give me your hand before I'm old Show me what love is - haven't got a clue Show me that wonders can be true They say nothing lasts forever We're only here today Love is now or never Bring me far away

Take me to your heart take me to your soul Give me your hand and hold me Show me what love is - be my guiding star It's easy take me to your heart Standing on a mountain high Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky I should go and see some friends But they don't really comprehend Don't need too much talking without saying anything All I need is someone who makes me wanna sing [Chorus:] Take me to your heart take me to your soul Give me your hand before I'm old Show me what love is - haven't got a clue Show me that wonders can be true

Only love 2 a.m. and the rain is falling Here we are at the crossroads once again You're telling me you're so confused You can't make up your mind Is this meant to be You're asking me But only love can say - try again or walk away But I believe for you and me The sun will shine one day So I'll just play my part And pray you'll have a change of heart But I can't make you see it through That's something only love can do

- Tokyo Square say you will Say you will,say you will be mine I just keep missing you tonight I feel so unsure,I feel so alone I just don't dare to open my eyes Into deep,going in too deep I can't get you out of my mind Baby no matter just how hard I try I don't want to be alone tonight Won't you be my guilding light Lead the way to be by your side Won't you be my star tonight I need more than a neon light

Say you will,say you will be mine I just keep missing you tonight I feel so unsure,I feel so alone I just don't dare to open my eyes.

In your arms as the dawn is breaking Face to face and a thousand miles apart I've tried my best to make you see There's hope beyond the pain If we give enough, if we learn to trust But only love can say - try again or walk away But I believe for you and me The sun will shine one day So I'll just play my part And pray you'll have a change of heart But I can't make you see it through That's something only love can do

I know if I could find the words To touch you deep inside You'd give our dream just one more chance Don't let this be our good-bye But only love can say - try again or walk away But I believe for you and me The sun will shine one day So I'll just play my part And pray you'll have a change of heart But I can't make you see it through That's something only love can do That's something only love can do . My Love - Westlife An empty street, An empty house, A hole inside my heart, I'm all alone and the rooms are getting smaller I wonder how, I wonder why, I wonder where they are, The days we've had, The songs we've sang together(oh yeah).

And oh my love, I'm holding on forever, Reaching for a love that seems so far, Chorus: So i say a little prayer, and hope my dreams will take me there, where the skies are blue to see you once again, My love, overseas from coast to coast, to find the place I love the most, where the fields are green to see you once again, my love. I try to read, I go to work, I'm laughing with my friends, but I can't stop to keep myself from thinking(oh no) I wonder how I wonder why I wonder where they are the days we had, the songs we sang together(oh yeah) And oh my love I'm holding on forever, reaching for the love that seems so far Chorus To hold you in my arms, To promise you my love, To tell u from my heart What I'm thinking of Reaching for the love that Seems so far Chorus to end - Shayne Ward until you
