Too honest
Jim was a young man in his early twenties who was apprenticed to a carpenter. He was a good worker, honest and reliable and, above all, he was punctual, so his boss was pleased with him.
But Jim’s one great drawback was that he could never tell a lie, no matter how hard he tried, not even a little white one. In fact, he was so honest and shy that he would blush even when he was telling the truth.
One morning, however, he didn’t feel like going to work because he had been to a party the night before and it hadn’t ended till the early hours of the morning. And so for the first time in his life he decided to take a day off. He rang his boss and pretending to be a woman, he spoke in a high-pitched voice.
“Hello,” he said nervously, “I’m afraid Jim can’t come in to work today. He doesn’t feel very well.”
Poor Jim was thankful his boss couldn’t see him just at that moment because his hands were trembling and his face was bright red.
“Thank you for letting me know,” said Mr. Woods, and then, just as he was about to hang up, he said, “Just a minute, who’s speaking, please?” At that moment Jim nearly passed out with shock.
“Oh!” he stammered, and doing his utmost to sound like a woman, he exclaimed in a clear voice, “This is my landlady speaking!”

A sailor and the monkeys
Once a sailor went ashore on the coast of South America. He had a number of blue woollen caps with him, which he wanted to sell. On his way to the town at some distance from the coast, he had to pass through a forest, in which there was a great number of monkeys.
At noon, as the sun was right overhead, the sailor decided to have a rest, as it was very hot. He lay down under the shade of a large tree, took one of the caps out of his bundle, put it on his head, and soon fell asleep.
When he awoke, he found, to his surprise, that the caps were all gone!
Soon he heard a loud noise among the thick branches above him, and he looked up.
He saw the trees alive with monkeys, and on the head of each monkey there was a blue woollen cap! The monkeys had watched his actions, had stolen his caps, while he slept and had put them on, and now they did not pay any attention to his shouts.
When the sailor saw that he couldn’t get his caps back, he pulled off the one which he had on his head, and threw it on the ground, crying, “If you want to keep the rest, you may take this one too!”
To his great surprise the little animals did the same. Each took the cap off its head and threw it on the ground. The sailor got his caps back and went away in triumph.
