An English schoolboy who didn't want to go to school rang his teacher one day and spoke to him in a loud voice. The boy thought that he could speak like his father.
"I am sorry, sir, but Smith is ill in bed and cannot come to school for three or four days."
"Oh," said the teacher, "I am sorry to hear that; who is speaking?"
"My father, sir."

Turner, the great English painter, had a dog which he loved very much. One day the dog broke a leg. Turner sent for a docnor. He didn't want to send for a veterinary; he sent for the best doctor in London.
When the doctor came, Turner said, "Doctor, I am happy you have come. My dog has broken a leg. I know that you are too great for work of this kind, but please do it. It is so important for me."
The doctor was angry but didn't show it. He did what the painter asked him to do.
Next day the doctor asked Turner to come to his house. "The doctor wants to see me about my dog," thought Turner, "it must be that."
When Turner reached the doctor's house, the doctor said:
"Mr. Turner, I am so happy to see you. I want you to paint my door. I know that you are too great a painter for this work, but please do it. It is so important for me."

The plane belonged to the British Airways. It was a big plane with four engines.
At ten o'clock we started. I sat next to Michael. He is a former pilot but now he works as a lawyer. Michael is my permanent companion in my journeys to Africa.
At eleven o'clock when we were over the British Channel Michael told me he didn't like the sound of the engine. Soon the stewardess said that something was not quite right with the engine again. She told us it wasn't very important as there were three good engines on the plane and we were "OK".
However when we got near Africa, the passangers were telling each other that the second and the third engines didn't work. We all felt rather bad. At that time we were flying over the land of Africa with its wild animals. We were thinking about death.
Suddenly we heard the captain's voice on the plane radio: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have bad news for you."
I saw that many faces became white. Some people began crying. I felt terrible. The capiain continued in a loud voice: "I have to inform you that England has lost her last football match against Scotland!"
