You're a good boy.

Give me your hand.

was walking down the street.

He saw an Englishman

who had fallen down.

Poor Mullah went to help him and

the Englishman said, 'Thank you.'

Mullah got angry and said, 'Are you

going to send a 'tank you' after me?!'

And then he pushed him back down.

'You're going to send

a tank after me?!'

Then he just turned around

and walked off.

Laugh!

OK, that was a good story...
