Let's smile for a while
A little boy is talking with his big brother
* I know what you are going to say next
# What?
* See? I know you'd say "What"!
Ahmad proudly tells his mother
* Mother, I got one-hundred in two subjects.
# Fine, Ahmad. What were they?
* Forty in history and sixsty in arithmetic.
The teacher is asking an aritmatic question
* Dino, if you found four hundred rupiahs in your right pocket and
three hundred rupiahs in your left pocket, what would you do?
# I would wear someone else's pants.
All the kids were trying to impress Grandpa, who had come for a visit
Lily boasted saying:
* I'm first in aritmetic, grandpa
Soleh said he had come in first in the spelling bee
Grandpa asked little Dana
* What are you firs in, Dana?
# Well, I'm the first one out the door when the bell rings.
* I know what you are going to say next
# What?
* See? I know you'd say "What"!
Ahmad proudly tells his mother
* Mother, I got one-hundred in two subjects.
