Beware of dogs: Tread softly

Arnab walks to school with his mum every day. When they pass the house next door, their young indie starts barking. Further up the street, a golden receiver growls. There are three spitzes in the house on the corner that yap away. Arnab is scared of dogs and gets more and more nervous about going to school each day.

To make Arnab feel better, his dad decides to walk him to school. As they pass the indie, it just lies down and stares at them. The lab doesn't even leave its usual spot. When they get to the house on the corner, the three spitzes don't make a peep.

'Wow, Baba!' Arnab says. 'How do you do it?'


'Simple,' he says. 'I'm wearing my Hush Puppies!'

Lightning, the Mood

A young boy was doing some handiwork with his father. When it came to putting a picture on the wall, the father said, 'I'll do this one. You're like lightning with a hammer!'

The boy said, 'Wow, is that 'cos I'm so fast?'

'No, it's because you never strike the same place twice!'
