The Poor Man and the Robber

A poor man was sleeping.

Suddenly, a robber broke in. And the poor man was woken up.

The robber pointed his gun at the poor man and said,”Don’t move! I only look for money, if you move, I’ll kill you!”

The poor man grinned, “I won’t fool around, I just wanted to get up, and look for money together with you.”
