The Sentry
Once a sentry was guarding a palace. "Left! Right! Left! Right!"he would mutter as he marched to and fro, thinking of his super, which, being Thursday ,would be roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Had it been Friday , supper would be steamed fish. The soldier would not like that supper much.
One day a naughty soldier tried to start a revolution.
"will you join me?" he asked the sentry.
"I am afraid not,"he replied. "Today is Thursday. I could not miss my supper of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. If you had asked me on Friday , i might have."
All the other soldiers thought the same way and the revolution failed. Which shows that if you want to start a revolution , you should pick your day carefully.
