"Why couldn't the skelton go to the party?" asked Chip. "It had no body to go with!" said Anneena. "Time to come inside!" called Mrs May. "Line up quietly, everyone." "What do sea monsters eat?" said Nadim. "Fish and ships!" "That's a terrible joke!"said Biff.

Today, I read The Joke Machine. The Joke Machine is book in the Oxford Reading Tree series. This is the story about some jokes. Some children talk about joke in playground. Then, Mrs. May let children to come inside. Mrs. May talked about Help the Children Day. "Who knows about Help the Children Day?" The day is special day which people raise money to help children. Mrs. May asked that how could we raise money for the day. After the children gathered Biff and Chip's house. They talked about Help the Children Day. Then Nadim had a good idea. They decided to make a joke machine. he next day, they talked for Mrs. May about the joke machine. They took the joke machine to the shopping center. They advertised the machine. Aman came up to buy a joke to them. The man wanted them all to tell the joke. So they told it togther. They all said joke. Then, The man and all children laughed. Then Mrs. May took a good news. "The mayor loves your joke machine. She wants to buy all your jokes!" They said the joke to the woman. Everyone laughed.

I couldn't understand some joke. It was difficult for me to understand the joke. Because I don't know some words. I thought the joke is Britsh joke. Because this book was published in the U.K.  274/7797
