One night there was a heavy snowstorm, and in the morning
Mr Smith's garden was full of deep snow. Mr Smith wanted to take his car
out, so he paid a man to clean the path from his garage to his gate. He
said to this man, "Don't throw any snow on that side, because it
will damage the bushes in my garden; and don't throw any snow into the
street, or the police will be angry. " Then Mr Smith went out.
When he came back, the path was clean and the snow
from it was not on the bushes, or the fence, or the street. Mr Smith was
very pleased-until he opened the garage to get his car out! The garage
was full to the top with all the snow from the path, and his car was somewhere
under it all!

A Better Mailman !
I worked as a mailman for a short time. However, I
am afraid of dogs and I had a lot of trouble. One day I tried to deliver
some letters to a big house. I started to open the gate and all of a sudden
a huge dog ran toward me. It growled and barked at me , so I threw the
letters over the fence. The dog picked them up and carried them into the
house. The dog was a better mailman than I was!
