Take Me Back To Prison
There was a king who thought that he could paint very well. His pictures
were bad. But the people to whom he showed them were afraid of the king. They
all said that they liked his pictures very much.
One day the king showed his pictures to a great painter who lived in his
country and said: “I want to know what you think of my pictures. Do you like
them? Am I a good painter or not?”
The painter looked at the king’s pictures and said: “My king, I think
that your pictures are bad and that you will never be a good painter”.
The king got very angry and sent the painter to prison. After two years
the king wanted to see the painter again. “I was very angry with you,” he said,
“because you didn’t like my pictures. Now I forget all about it. You are a free
man again, I’m your friend”. For many hours the king talked with the painter,
and even asked him to dine. After the dinner the king showed his pictures to
the painter and asked: “Well, how do you like them now?”
The painter did not answer anything. He turned to the soldier who was
standing near him and said: “Take me back to prison.”

Why Was The Mother Out
Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown worked in the same office. One day Mr. Jones
said to Mr. Brown, “We are going to have a small party at our house next
Wednesday evening. Will you and your wife come?”
Mr. Brown said, “Thank you very much. That is very kind of you. We are
free that evening, I think, but I will telephone my wife and ask her. Perhaps
she wants to go somewhere that evening.” So Mr. Brown went to another room and
telephoned. When he came back, he looked very surprised.
“What is the matter?” said Mr. Jones. “Did you speak to your wife?”
“No,” answered Mr. Brown. “She wasn’t there. My small son answered the
