I was eating in a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a law firm a few years ago, but now he works in a bank. His salary is high, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came over and sat at the same table. He never borrowed money from me. I borrowed 20 pounds from him while he was eating. To my surprise, he gave me money at once. "I never borrowed money from you," Tony said, "so now you can pay for my meal!"

Do you speak English?
Do you speak English?
I had an interesting experience last year. After leaving a small village in the south of France, I continued to drive to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me if I needed a ride. As soon as he got on the bus, I said hello to him in French and he answered me in the same language. I don't know French at all except a few words. None of us spoke during the trip. I was about to reach the town when the young man suddenly said very slowly, "Do you speak English? I soon learned that he is an Englishman himself! "

"Mr harms Voss," I said in a weak voice.
"Don't interrupt," he said.
Then he smiled and told me that I would receive an extra 1000 every year!

If you park your car in the wrong place, the traffic police will soon find out. You'll be lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic policemen are sometimes very polite. During my holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: Welcome to our city, sir. This is a "no parking" area. If you pay attention to our road signs, you will have a good time here. This note is just a memo. If you receive such a request, you can't disobey!

Alone on the boat
Sit alone in a lonely boat
Fishing is my favorite sport. I often fish for hours at a time and catch nothing. But that doesn't worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. They are not catching cats and fish, but old boots and rubbish. I'm even less fortunate. I didn't catch anything-not even old boots. After staying on the river all morning, I always go home with an empty bag. "You must give up fishing!" My friend said. This is a waste of time. But they didn't realize one important thing. I am not very interested in fishing. I'm only interested in sitting on the boat doing nothing!
Fishing is my favorite sport. I often fish for hours and get nothing, but I never worry about it. Some anglers are just unlucky. They often catch old boots and rubbish instead of fish. My luck is not even as good as theirs. I didn't catch anything-not even old boots. I always stay on the river all morning and then go home with an empty bag. "Stop fishing!" My friend said, "This is a waste of time." However, they didn't realize the important point. I am not very interested in fishing. I'm only interested in sitting alone doing nothing.
