Do You Know My Work ?
One night a hotel caught fire , and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.
Two men stood outside and looked at the fire.
"Before I came out," said one," I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire , the fire burn sit. So I took all the bills that I could find. No one will be poorer because I took them."
“ You don't know my work,” said the other.
“ What is your work ?”
“ I'm a policeman.”
“ Oh !” cried the first man. He thought quickly and said, “ and do you know my work? ”
“ No,” said the policeman.
“ I'm a writer. I'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”
