Aspirin Danger
Wonder-drug it may be, but aspirin is not suitable for children under the age of 12. Doctors have
warned for years that if children take aspirin they risk developing a serious, sometimes fatal
condition called Reye’s syndrome. But despite their warnings, a recent research project showed
that when children under 12 are given painkillers, one in six has an aspirin. Parents beware!

A thief on the bus
Mr. Smith gave his wife one hundred dollars for her birthday. Two days later, Mrs. Smith
went shopping. She looked for a taxi, but no one appeared. So, she joined the long line at the
bus stop. When the bus arrived, she got on and sat down next to an old lady. After some time
she noticed that the old lady’s handbag was open. Inside the bag she saw a roll of notes exactly
like the ones her husband had given her. She quickly looked into her own bag – the notes had
gone. Mrs. Smith was sure that the old lady had stolen them. She didn’t want to call the police
because she disliked making a scene. So she decided to take back the money from the old
lady’s handbag. She looked around the bus, then she carefully put her hand into the old lady’s
bag, took the notes, and put them in her own bag.
When she got home that evening, she showed her husband the beautiful hat that she
had bought.
“How did you pay for it,dear?” he asked.
“With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course”, she answered.
“Oh, what’s that then?” he asked pointing to a roll of notes on the table.
Mrs. Smith looked at the money and fell to the floor. She fainted
