Timothy’s Homework
Timothy was ten years old. He was not a very good pupil, and he did not like having to do homework, because he preferred to do other things in his free time. Frequently he did not do his homework, and when he did do it he always made a lot of mistakes.
Then one day, his mathematics teacher looked at Timothy’s homework and saw that he had got all hs sums right. He was very pleased-and rather surprised. He called Timothy to his desk and said to him, “You got all your homework right this time, Timothy. What happened? Did you father help you?”
Usually Timothy’s father did help him with his homework, but the evening before this, he had not been able to, because he had not been at home, so Timothy answered, “No, sir. He was busy last night, so I had to do it all my self.”
English Prisoner
An English prisoner of war was held by the Germans. The Englishmen was shot all over the place, and okay until one day the German told him, “Englander, your arm is infected with gangrene we must cut it off.”. The English prisoner said, “Well, okay, but could you drop it over England when you go bombing.”. The German replied, “Ya, that will not be a problem.”
A few weeks later the German tells the Englishman that they have to cut his other arm off. The Englishman says, “Well, could drop it over England like you did last time.” “Ya, that will be done,” says the German.
The next day the German tells him they have to cut his other leg. Once again the Brit says, “Well, could you do same as before.”. The German replies, “Ya.”. The next the German tells him they have to cut hi other leg. “Well,” begins the Brit. “Could you just…”. The German snapped, “No! We think you are trying to escape!.”

Penguin in the Park
The next day, the policeman saw the man in the same park. The man was still carrying the penguin. The policeman was rather surprised and walked up to the man and asked; "Why are you still carrying the penguin? Didn't you take it to the zoo?" The man replied; "I certainly did. And it was a great idea because the penguin really enjoyed it. So, today I am taking it to the movie".
Abu Nawas and the King Aaron
The following morning the king ordered his two guards to go to Abu Nawas’ house. The guards were very surprised found Abu Nawas still in his house. He had not left the country yet. Instead leaving the country, Abu Nawas was swimming in small pool in front of his house. “Hey Abu Nawas, why haven’t you left this country yet? The king ordered you not to step on the ground of this country anymore, didn’t he?” said the guards. “Sure he did” answered Abu Nawas calmly. “But look at me! Do I step on the ground of this country? No, I do not step on the ground. I am swimming on the water” continued Abu Nawas.
The guards were not able to argue with Abu Nawas so they left Abu Nawas’ house and went back to the palace. The guards reported what they had seen to the king. The king was curious on Abu Nawas’ excuse not to leave the country. Therefore the king ordered his guard to call Abu Nawas to come to the palace.
Abu Nawas came to the palace on stilts. The king wondered and said “Abu, I will surely punish you because you haven’t done what I have said. You have not left this country”. The King continued “And now, look at you. You walk on stilts like a child. Are you crazy? The king pretended to be furious.
“I remember exactly what you said, Your Majesty” Abu Nawas answered calmly. “This morning I took a bath in the small pool in my house so that I had not to step on the ground. And since yesterday, I have been walking on this stilts. So you see, Your Majesty, I do not step on the ground of this country”. The king was not able to say anything.
Nasreddin’s Coat
One day Nasreddin had been invited to the dinner party. He went to the party by wearing old clothes.
When he arrived in the party, nobody looked at him and nobody gave him a seat. He got no food in the party so he went home and change his clothes
Next he put on his best clothes. He wore his newest coat and went to the party again. The host at once got up and came to meet him. The host offered him the best table and gave him a good seat and served him the best food
Nasreddin sat and put off his coat. He put his coat and said; “Eat the food, Coat!” the hosts and guests were very surprised and asked Nareddin; “What are doing?” Nasreddin replied calmly; “When I came here with my old clothes, nobody looked at me. Then I went home and put on my best clothes. I came back in my newest coat and you all give me this best food and drink. So, you give food to my coat instead of me”. Getting Nasreddin's answer, they just shook the head.
Yup, that’s all from my explain about Spoof Text. Maybe, next time I will explain another information. And don’t forget to waiting my another post. Hehehe.
