$500 Porsche

$500 Porsche! New! The man thought that it was very unusual to sell a Porsche for $500, and he thought it might be a joke, but thought it was worth a shot. So he went to the lady's house and sure enough, she had an almost brand new Porsche. "Wow!" the man said. "Can I take it for a test drive?" Unlike what he expected, the man found that the car ran perfectly and took it back to the lady's house. "Why are you selling me this great Porsche for only $500?" "My husband just ran off with his secretary, and he told me I could have the house and the furniture as long as I sold his Porsche and sent him the money."

A country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head

A country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head, when she fell into the following train of reflections."The money for which I shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred. These eggs, allowing for what may prove addle（腐坏的，糊涂的） , and what may be destroyed by vermin（害虫，歹徒） , will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens. The chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry（家禽） is always dear; so that by the new year I cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown（长袍，礼服） . Green-let me consider-yes, green becomes my complexion best, and green it shall be. In this dress I will go to the fair, where all young fellows will strive to have me for a parter; but no-I shall refuse every one of them, and with a disdainful（轻蔑的，鄙视的） toss turn from them." Transported with this idea, she could not forbear（忍耐克制） acting with her head the thought that passed in her mind, when down came the can of milk! And all her imaginary happiness vanished in a moment.dfghj fkjh ssdjk djsik
