    One day, Mr. and Mrs. White go shopping by car. They stop their car near a shop. They buy many things from the shop. And the things are very heavy, so they want to put them in their car.

    But Mr. White can't open the door of the car. "Let's ask a policeman for help." says Mrs. White. They ask a policeman to help them. The policeman is very friendly to help them open the door of the car. At that time a man comes up and shouts, "What are you doing with my car?" Mr. and Mrs. White look at the number of the car, then they say sorry to the man.

    A French student went to London for his holiday. He thought, "I know a little English. I think people can understand me". One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at the table. He wanted to have a cup of tea and some eggs. Soon the waiter came up to him and asked, "Can I help you, sir?" "A cup of tea and ..." "He could not remember the English word for eggs. He looked around him, but nobody was eating eggs. Then he saw a magazine on the table next to him. There was a picture of a cock on its cover.  He showed the picture to the waiter.

     "What's the English for this?" he asked again. "A cock, sir," answered the waiter. "What do you call a cock's wife?" he asked again. "A hen, sir". "And what do you call a hen's children?" "Chicks, sir." And what do you call chicks before they're born?" "Eggs, sir.'' "Very well," said the French student, "Bring me two eggs and a cup of tea, please." And he sat down with a smile on his face.
