    - A lawyer on a flight tried to get a blonde woman to play a guessing game with him, where if she didn't know the answer to his question she would pay him $5, and vice versa. She declined at first but agreed when he upped the stakes to $500 if he didn't know the answer to her question. - He asked her the distance to the moon, which she paid $5 not knowing. Her question was about something with 3 legs going up a hill and 4 coming down, which stumped the lawyer and he had to pay her $500 after extensive searching. When he asked for the answer, she simply paid him another $5 and went back to sleep.

    This text is for questions 1 to 5
    One day, a farmer, who was well- known in his village as a very mean man, said I will give three meals and
    twenty five pence to anyone who is willing to do a days work for me. This offer was accepted by a hungry tramp, who
    was more interested in the meals than the money.
    You can have your breakfast first, said the farmer, and then you can start work. After the farmer had
    given him a very small breakfast, he said, Now you can have your dinner. This will save us a lot of time. The tramp
    agreed, and ate poor dinner. When he had finished, the farmer said, What would you say to having supper also
    while you are about it?
    I will try, replied the tramp, to enjoy another meal. Then he had his supper, which again was not a very
    filling meal.
    When it was over, the farmer looked very pleased and said, Now you can do a long days work.
    No, thank you, was the tramps reply, as he rose to leave, I never work after supper!

    The Blonde and the Lawyer


    A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.
    The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.
    The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to
    catch a few winks.
    The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explains, I ask you a
    question, and if you dont know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vice versa.
    Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, Okay, if you
    dont know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I dont know the answer, I will pay $500.00.
    This catches the blondes attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless
    she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. Whats the distance from the earth
    to the moon? The blonde doesnt say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it
    to the lawyer. Okay says the lawyer, your turn.
    She asks the lawyer, What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs? The
    lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into
    the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated,
    he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and
    hands her $500.
    The blonde says, Thank you, and turns back to get some more sleep.
    The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, Well, whats the
    answer? Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, goes back to
    sleep.

    No, replied the Trumpeter, I cannot fight. I can only blow my horn, and make music for
    those who are at war.
    But I can hit a mark at a hundred pieces, said the Archer. As he spoke, an eagle appeared,
    hovering over the tree tops. He drew out an arrow, fitted it on the string, shot at the bird, which
    straightway fell to the ground, transfixed to the heart.
    I am not afraid of any foe for the bird might just as well have been a man, said the Archer
    proudly. But you would be quite helpless if anyone attacked you.
    They saw at that moment a band of robbers approaching them with drawn swords. The Archer
    immediately discharged a sharp arrow, which laid low the foremost of the wicked men. But the rest
    soon overpowered and bound his hands.
    As for this Trumpeter, he can do us no harm, for he has neither sword nor bow, they said, and
    did not bind him, but took away his purse and wallet.
    Then Trumpeter said, You are welcome friends, but let me play you a tune on my horn.
    With their consent he blew loud and long on his trumpet, and in a short space of time the
    guards of the King came running up at the sound, and surrounded the robbers and carried them off to
    the prison.
