THEATRE WAVES
Many years ago a London theatre gave a play in which there rose a great storm at sea. In those days theatres had no machines. Therefore the director engaged several boys to break waves on the sea. The boys jumped up and down under a big piece of sea green cloth. The boys received one shilling a night for the work. They worked for several weeks. But the director decided that he was paying too much. He decided to pay them only sixpence a night. The boys decided to go on strike. So, when the storm began when the wind rose blowing and it was raining and the sea rose there were no waves on it. The angry director lifted a corner of the sea and said to the boys: “Make the waves, boys.” “Do you want waves for a shilling or for six pence? ” – asked a boy in a loud voice. “Oh, for a shilling” exclaimed the director. The boys began to jump up and down so well that the storm was a great success.

TEA LEAVES
Many years ago tea was unknown in European countries. Many people didn’t even know the word “tea”, though drinking tea was very popular in the East. Once a young sailor came back from India. He was the only son of an old woman and every time he returned to Great Britain from a far away country he brought his mother a gift. Of course, he tried to bring her something unusual that she could show to her friends. This time he brought her a box of tea. The old woman didn’t know anything about tea, but she liked the smell and invited all her friends to come and try it. When her guests arrived she invited them to the dining – table. The old woman treated them to cakes and fruits and tea leaves. When the sailor entered the room and saw a big plate filled with tea leaves he understood everything. He smiled when he saw her mother’s friends eating leaves with butter and salt. They pretended they liked it but it was clear they didn’t enjoy eating the leaves. “Where is the tea, mother ?” – the sailor asked. His mother pointed to the plate in the middle of the table. “No, this is only the leaves of the tea” – the sailor said. “Where is the water ?” “The water ?” his mother said. “I threw the water away, of course”.
KING SOLOMON
Once upon a time, there was a very powerful, but very good king. All the people in the land loved him. He was very wise. One day two women came to the king’s court. They were fighting over a baby girl. The first woman told the king. “She is mine, your highness. She belongs to me. I gave the birth to the baby last month. Look, she looks like me.” The second woman said to the king “She is lying , the baby is mine. She belongs to me. Can’t you see how she looks like me, your highness?”. The king listened to the two stories. He thought for a few minutes then he said “O.K. the only solution to this problem is to saw the baby in half with this knife”. The first woman cried out “No, no! Give her to this woman then.” The king said to the first woman “Now, I know you are the true mother. Take your baby.”
