Example of a story

The Four Oxen and the Lion


A Lion used to prowl about a field in which Four Oxen used to
dwell (live). Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came
near they turned their tails to one another, so that whichever way
he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At
last, however, they fell a-quarrelling (fighting) among themselves, and each
went off to pasture alone in a separate corner of the field. Then
the Lion attacked them one by one and soon made an end of all
four (ate all fo them).

1. how can you retell the story using your own words?
2. What is the teaching (moral) of this story?

United we stand, divided we fall (if we work together, we can do everything
we want).

Jokes:

Two cows are standing in a field.
One says to the other "Are you worried about Mad Cow Disease?"
The other one says "No, It doesn't worry me, I'm a horse!"

what is the joke?
Mad cow disease only affects cows. One of these cows is already ill and has gone crazy and thinks as being a horse; as a result, he will not be affected by it.

Man: How can you tell if a man is happy?
Woman : Who cares?!

what is the joke?
Well, women don´t care about what happens to men, according to the joke, ok!!!!
