Two sailors（水兵）who had just finished a long voyage（航行）went home to their village and decided to have a few drinks in the bar there. When they had had enough, they came out into the street to look for something amusing（有趣的）to do, but it was a very quiet place, and nothing interesting ever happened there, so they could not find anything.
But at last, while they were standing in the market-place outside the bar, they saw a village boy coming slowly towards them. He was leading a donkey by a rope, so the sailors decided that they would have a joke with the boy, "Why does your brother have to have a rope round his neck when he goes for a walk with you?"

Mr. Jackson worked in a hospital. A lot of patients went to see him and he was very busy and had little time to have a rest in the day. One night, when he looked over the last patient, it was five to one. He was too tired to say a word and went to bed at once. When he fell asleep, a farmer began to knock at the door and got him up.
“My wife is ill,” shouted the farmer. “Please go and look her over.” Mr. Jackson had to go out with the farmer. It was the coldest night of the year and there was snow and ice on the road. The farmer lived far away from the city and they went through a forest, crossed two rivers and a mountain. After three hours, they got to the short, small house. And they were tired, cold and hungry.
The woman stayed in bed. She looked fine. Mr. Jackson looked her over carefully and found there was nothing serious with her. He became angry.
