1. The wellknown singer Enrico Caruso was once driving
not far from New York. It so happened that something went
wrong with his car and he had to
spend some time in the house
of a farmer. Soon they became friendly and the farmer asked
Caruso his name.
When the farmer heard the name, he rose to his feet. “My,
I never thought I should see
a man like you in my kitchen, sir,”
he cried out. “Caruso. The great traveller. Robinson Caruso!”
2. “I say, Dad,” said a schoolboy,
returning home, “we gave a
wonderful performance at school. A lot of parents came and al
though some of them had seen it before
they all had a jolly good
time.”
“How do you know?” asked his father.
“Why, they laughed all through the play,” the boy replied.
“And what was the play?” the father asked.
“Hamlet,” said the boy.
