THE LAMB AND THE WOLF

One day the wolf was shaking his thirst at a stream when he chanced to see a lamb, also drinking, at some distance down stream.

Outraged, he growled,

‘you are muddying my drinking water, now I shall eat you.’

The lamb protested, “but, sir, how can I be muddying your drinking water? I am farther down stream than you are. The water is flowing from your part of the stream to where I am.”

“Upstream or downstream, your drinking is muddying my water, and I shall eat you.” After saying that, the wolf leaped upon the lamb and devoured him.

ADMITTING/DENYING EXPRESSIONS

Two friends are at National Park.

Luna : Look at the Tiger! That’s big one and wild animal, right?

Maya : Oh yeah, it is dangerous animal.

Luna : Tiger is also called big cat.

Maya : How can be?

Luna : It looks like a cat with big size but a cat isn’t dangerous animal.

Maya : Are you sure? A cat also has sharp nails like Tiger, it must be dangerous one! I don’t like cat!

Luna : Not at all! I’ll show you my cat. It’s so cute.

They go to Luna’s house. Luna asks Maya to touch her cat.

Luna : C’mon…touch the fur. It isn’t dangerous, it will not beat you!

Maya : Okay, I’ll try it…Aww! It beats my hand! You said that your cat will not beat me.

Luna : Ups! I didn’t say that.(df)

Maya : You’ve said that. Your cat hurts me.

Luna : Yes, it does. I lied to you.

I’m sorry, dear. I admit now.
