Strip stories

Post by naturegirl321 » Mon Jul 28, 2003 3:55 am

I'm looking for some new strip stories. Here are two, but I'd like some others for beginners and intermediate groups.
Thanks

SandwichesTom, *beep*, and Harry were sitting on the top of the Marriot Hotel. Their job was to repair the roof. It was lunchtime so they were taking a break.

Tom said, &#8220;I hate lunchtimes. It&#8217;s always sandwiches, sandwiches, sandwiches!And I bet it&#8217;s tuna again. If I look in my lunchbox and find tuna, I&#8217;ll jump!&#8221;

&#8220;Yeh, I know what you mean,&#8221; said *beep*. &#8220;I always get cheese. If it&#8217;s cheese today, I&#8217;ll jump too.&#8221;

&#8220;Huh, you&#8217;re lucky,&#8221; said Harry. &#8220;Cheese and tuna? At least you don&#8217;t always get ham. If I find ham in my lunchbox again, I think I&#8217;ll jump as well.&#8221;

All three looked in their lunchboxes and found the sandwiches they didn&#8217;t like, so they all jumped off the Marriot and killed themselves. What a mess!

Two days later, the wives of the three men were standing at the graves crying.

&#8220;Oh!,&#8221; said Tom&#8217;s wife. &#8220;If only I had known Tom didn&#8217;t like tuna sandwiches, I would have made him something else.&#8221;

&#8220;Yes,&#8221; cried *beep*&#8217;s wife. &#8220;If only I had known *beep* hated cheese, I never would have given him that for lunch.&#8221;

&#8220;Mm, that&#8217;s funny,&#8221; said Harry&#8217;s wife. &#8220;Harry always made his own sandwiches.&#8221;

The laziest boy
An old man was walking along the road.

Suddenly he saw three boys laying on the grass under a tree.

He said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll give a gold coin to the laziest boy. Who is the laziest boy?&#8221;

The first boy jumped up, ran over to the old man and said,

&#8220;I&#8217;m the laziest boy. Give me the coin!&#8221;

The old man shook his head and said, &#8220;No you aren&#8217;t. Go lie down.&#8221;

The second boy reached out his hand and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m the laziest boy. Give me the coin.&#8221;

The old man shook his head again and said, &#8220;No you aren&#8217;t.&#8221;

The third boy said, &#8220;Please come over and put the coin in my pocket.&#8221;

&#8220;Yes,&#8221; said the old man. &#8220;You are the laziest boy!&#8221;

And he put the coin into the boy&#8217;s pocket.
