Does the dog know the proverb, too?
The little boy did not like the look of the barking dog.

"Ah, yes," answered the little boy. "I know the proverb, but does the dog know the proverb, too?"

一 Can we have our teacher back？
Once a superintendent of schools was visiting a three-room school. One room was very noisy, so the man grabbed a tall boy who had been standing up talking.

二 Who's More Polite?

Drunk
One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this
age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking
questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?" "Well,
my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I
regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."
"But,
dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!"
