THE FRENCHMAN.

A french gentleman says he cannot get the hang of the English language. "Look at zis," he says. Here is one story about a boy. It says: ‘His mother kissed him and he kissed her back.' What for he kissed her back? And here is one sentence worse and worse: 'He went fishing and his mother whipped him on his return.' My, my! Zat is such a funny language!"
