Titbits--- 111

1)How the prisoner again escaped punishment?

Once upon a time,a long time ago,so the story goes,there was a kingdom where it was customary for the king to provide one opportunity to every prisoner to escape punishment every time a prisoner was brought before him.

This he ensured by asking the prisoner to guess correctly what the exact punishment
the king had in mind for a specific charge.If the prisoner could guess correctly he was pardoned and let go free.

It just so happened that there was one particular prisoner who always escaped punishment by guessing correctly every time and went about freely to repeat the crimes without any feeling of guilt.This infuriated the king who decided to frame his question in such a way that it should be well nigh impossible for the prisoner to escape punishment.He was waiting for the right time to strike.

The opportunity the king was looking for came sooner than he expected when the prisoner was charged for a heinous crime and brought before the king for the punishment.Determined not to miss this chance,the King told the Prisoner with conviction------"COME,COME PRISONER,This Time You Cannot Escape Punishment.If You Guess Correctly How I Plan To Punish you,You Will Be Hanged and IF NOT You Will Be Shot.Tell me what have you to say"?

On hearing this after a momentary pause,the prisoner said--"My Lord I will be shot".

Now the king was in a predicament.If he were to shoot him,the prisoner had guessed correctly, in which case he should have been hanged.On the other hand if he were to hang him,he has guessed wrongly in which case he should have been shot.Caught in this predicament the King did not know what to do and with little option left he let the prisoner go.

2)Can Any One Beat This Spelling?

Ther wae one boy in a certain school who was always failing in English.His Father felt that there was something wrong in ealuation by his Teacher.To clarify his doubt
he took his son to meet his Teacher and told him---"My son may be weak in English but certainly cannot be so weak that he fails in spelling everytime.How do you really test him"?

On hearing this the Teacher said---"Now that you have a doubt it is only fair that I clear your doubt.In your presence I will ask your son to spell a word in English.If even one letter in that word is correct I will pass him.I cannot be fairer than this He then asked his son to spell 'COFFEE'.The Boy Replied---"KAUPHY".

The Teacher then looked at the Boy's Father.POOR MAN,What Can He Say?Dear Reader,Can You Bail Him Out?
