THAT’S NOT MY JOB!

This is a story about four people named: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an
important job to be done, and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done
it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought
Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody
blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
SILENT ‘H’

th
When I was in 7 grade, I used to ask a lot of questions. One day, I asked my English teacher, Why do we ignore some letters in
pronunciation, e.g. the letter ‘H’ in hour, honour etc.? My English teacher said, “We are not ignoring them; they’re considered silent.”
I was even more confused. During the lunch break, my teacher gave me her packed lunch and asked me to heat it in the cafeteria.
I ate all the food and returned her the empty container. My English teacher asked: What happened? I told you to go and HEAT my
food; you are returning me an empty container. I replied, “Madam, I thought ‘H’ was silent.”
