vz1. The Zoo Job Story
One day a clown was visiting the zoo and attempted to earn some money by making a street performance.
He acted and mimed perfectly some animal acts. As soon as he started to
drive a crowd, a zoo keeper grabbed him and dragged him into his
office. The zoo keeper explained to the clown that the zoo's most
popular gorilla had died suddenly and the keeper was fear that
attendance at the zoo would fall off. So he offered the clown a job to
dress up as the gorilla until the zoo could get another one. The clown accepted this great opportunity.
So the next morning the clown put on the gorilla suit and entered the cage before the crowd came. He felt that it was a great job. He could sleep all he wanted, played and made fun of people and he drove bigger crowds than he ever did as a clown. He pretended the gorilla successfully.
However, eventually the crowds were tired of him for just swinging on tires. He began to notice that the people were paying more attention to the lion in the next cage. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he decided to make a spectacular performance. He climbed to the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this made the lion furious, but the crowd people loved it.
At the end of the day the zoo keeper came and gave him a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this went on for some time, he kept taunting the lion, the audience crowd grew a larger, and his salary kept going up. Then one terrible day happened. When he was dangling over the furious lion, he slipped and fell into the lion cage. The clown was really in big terrible situation. He was terrified.
Sooner the lion gathered itself and prepared to pounce. The clown was so scared. He could do nothing and he began to run round and round the cage with the lion close and closer behind. Finally, the lion could catch him. The clown started screaming and yelling, "Help me, help me!", but the lion was quick and pounces. The clown soon found himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and suddenly he heard a voice from the lion’s mouth;"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?".

2. LOVING MONEY TOO MUCH
There was a man who liked money very
much. He worked all of his life and wanted to save all of his money for
his own future. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved
money more than just about anything.
Even, just before he died, he said to his wife; “Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife.” So he asked his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the money in the casket with him.
Well, one day, he really died. Then he was stretched out in the casket. The wife was sitting there in black clothes next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said “Wait just a minute!”
She had a box in her hands. She came over with the box and placed it in the casket. After that the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Not long after that, her friend said, “I hope you were not crazy enough to put all that money in the casket.”
The wife turned to her friend and replied; “Yes, because I have promised.” Then she continued; “I can’t lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him.” Feeling shocked, her friend said; “You mean that you have put every cent of his money in the casket with him?” Then the wife answered; “Surely I did. I got it all together, put all the money into my account and I just wrote him a check.”

3. Safety First
One day after class, there was a safety
drill at my school – a technology vocational school. The instructor
showed the importance of wearing safety gear on a building site, such as
a helmet, safety shoes, and gloves. He also mentioned that we must
always put on our seatbelt in a car. Then we all were given a chance to
try on those safety gadgets.
When the drill was over, my friends and I
walked to the car of one of my friends. We always go home together
because we live in the same housing complex. I sat in the front seat,
next to the driver. I buckled the seatbelt, and I turned my head facing
my friends in the back.
“ Don’t forget to buckle up, guys! Don’t forget, safety first!”
to my surprise, their exploded into laughter.
“ Hey, come on, guys. You know that I’m right, “ I said to defend myself.
“ Yeah, yeah. You’re right. But you don’t have to wear a helmet in a car!”
to my surprise, their exploded into laughter.
“ Hey, come on, guys. You know that I’m right, “ I said to defend myself.
“ Yeah, yeah. You’re right. But you don’t have to wear a helmet in a car!”
My gosh! I forgot to take off the helmet
I had been wearing. I opened the car door and ran to return the helmet.
With a red face, of course.
Ever since, my friends have teased me with the words.

join the north army. His father looked deep into his son’s eyes.
“Carter, No matter what happens, be sure you always do what you think is
your duty.”
One sunny afternoon, Carter was sent to
guard. It was his duty to be sure that no enemy soldier spied on.
Suddenly, he saw a man on horseback standing on the huge rocky cliff. He
held a gun in his right hand, and the horse’s reins in the other.
Unavoidably, Carter pointed his gun. Carter was calm as he pulled the
trigger.

5. Elementary, My Dear Watson
Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson go on a
camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep. Some hours later,
Holmes wakes his faithful friend.
“Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” Watson replies, “I see millions of stars.”
“What does that tell you?”
“What does that tell you?”
Watson ponders for a minute.
“Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of
galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells
me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a
quarter past three. Theologically, it’s evident the Lord is all-powerful
and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will
have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?”
Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks, “Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent!”
