Mr. Scammmon’s Story
One of my neighbours, Mr. Scammon, is a humorous gentleman. He likes joking because for him life is fun. So, according to him, everything in the world is funny, “Let’s see,” he said one day, “if you put your trousers on at the upper part of your body and your shirt at the lower part, then it is funny, isn’t it?” In this way, Mr. Scammon makes many friends in his office as well as in our neighbourhood. On the other hands, he is serious too, especially when working and making promise.
One evening, when he came back home he observed his wife, Linda, was going to give birth. Lying on her bed, she said, “Scammon, I think this is the time we will have our first baby. Drive me to the hospital right now.” Hurriedly, Mr. Sacmmon took her by the hand to enter the garage. He helped her to sit in the car, started the engine, and headed to the hospital.
Arriving there, Mr. Scammon and Linda went to the operating theatre where operations are done. The nurses took Linda to the room. One of the nurse said, Mr. Scammon you may go home, if you child is born we will call you.” Mr. Scammon answered,”No, I’ll be here until my child is born.” The nurse said, ”OK then wait in the waiting room.”
Waiting, he walked back and forth in the corridor. He could not sleep that night. Patiently but with fear and hope he waited for the birth of his nice child. He prayed to God for the safety of his wife and child. About an hour later, a nurse called him and said, “Mr. Scammon, thank God, and congratulation, your baby is born. It is very cute and your wife is very happy. Now, Mr. Scammon which one do you choose a boy or a girl?” “A girl,” replied Mr. Scammon. You know nurse, I have an older sister and when we were children she took care of me lovingly,” he continued. The nurse said, ”That’s a good choice, Sir, but this time he is a boy.” Mr. Scammon answered, “No problem, it is my second choice, ha… ha… ha…”

a. Comprehension Question
OK, students. Listen to me. I have a good story. The story is about a boy, his name is Timothy. He was ten years old. He was not a very good student. Why? Because he didn’t like doing his homework. What did he like to do ? Oh, he liked playing in his leisure time. He liked football very much. Do you know why he didn’t like doing his homework ? Because he always made a lot of mistakes when he did it.
Well, one day, his mathematics teacher looked at Timothy’s homework and found that all his homework was correct. Wow, that’s a surprise! Of course students, the teacher was very happy and surprised. So, he called Timothy to his office and said to him, “Timothy, it’s a surprise that all your homework are right this time. You’re doing great. Well done, Timothy. Did your father help you?”
“No, Sir.” Timothy said, ”Usually my father did it for me. But last night he was very busy. He had a meeting. So, he couldn’t do my homework. Then I had to do it myself last night.”

We don’t describe any newspapers
Jack was a university student. He studied history. At the end of his first year, he failed in his examinations and he was told to leave the university. The next day Jack’s father went to see the professor. He urged the professor to let Jack continue his studies the following year. “He’s a good boy,” said Jack’s father, “and if you let him pass this time , I’m sure he’ll improve a lot next year and pass the examination at the end of the year well”.
“No, No!” that’s quite impossible!,” replied the professor. “Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon died, and he could not answer it”.
“Please, Sir, give him another chance,” said Jack’s father. “You see, we don’t subscribe any newspapers in our house, so none of us even knew that Napoleon was ill”.
“No, No!” that’s quite impossible!,” replied the professor. “Do you know, last month I asked him when Napoleon died, and he could not answer it”.
