Perhaps It Isn’t Me
Mr Green was clever three years ago .And few man could trouble him .But one day his car was hit by a truck and his head was badly hurt .Now he often forgets something and his thinking is different from others .
Last morning it was very cold and it snowed hard .Mr Green woke up early .He put on his coat and began to walk in the street while people were sleeping .He wanted to read newspapers but the post office was closed .He had to go back and go to bed again .As soon as he took off his clothes ,the door was knocked at .He got up and opened it .Two hunters came in .They looked at him carefully and then said ,“We saw a dead man just now .We thought it was you .”
“Really?”Mr Green said in surprise .“Where ?”
“In the forest .”
“It’s impossible !”Said the man .“I didn’t go there at all the morning .”
“But he died last night .”
“What clothes does he wear ,then ?”
“A blue coat like yours and brown trousers .”
“I cann’t believe you ,”said Mr Green .“And what colour are his socks ?”
“Black .”
Mr Green became happy .He showed his socks to the two hunters and said ,“Look !My socks are yellow !”
