There was once a large, fat woman. She has a small, thin husband. He worked in a big office and got his weekly pay every Friday evening. As soon as he got home on Fridays, he had to give his wife all his money, and then his wife gave him back only enough for his lunch in the office every day.
One day the small man came home very happily. He hurried into the living room. His wife was listening to the radio eating apples there.
“You’re never guess what happened to me today, dear,” he said.
He waited for a few seconds and said again, “ I won ten thousand dollars on buying the lottery tickets!”
“That’s wonderful!” shouted his wife happily. But then she thought a few seconds and said angrily. “But wait a minute! How could you have enough money to buy the tickets?”
