[00:09.36]A Check your spelling
[00:11.84]"Have you ever had trouble
[00:13.06]trying to spell a word?"
[00:14.85]I asked my husbnad one day.
[00:16.87]"Yes,sometimes.Why,what happened?"He asked.
[00:20.96]"This afternoon,I was in the town center,
[00:23.53]where I had been doing some shopping.
[00:25.89]I suddenly realized
[00:26.97]I didn't have any money left.
[00:28.42]so I quickly went to the bank to cash a cheque.
[00:31.01]I wanted to withdraw $40
[00:32.85]from our bank account,
[00:34.25]but I couldn't remember if 40 was spelled,
[00:38.48]'fourty''forty.'"
[00:44.23]"What did you do?"my husband asked.
[00:46.51]"I took out $50 instead."I said.

[00:53.44]A new family moved into the house
[00:55.16]next door to me a few weeks ago.
[00:57.43]They have two sons called william and Wayne.
[01:01.02]William is 14 years old,
[01:02.93]and his little brother is only 3.
[01:05.92]I soon noticed
[01:06.68]that the two boys were always together.
[01:08.70]You never saw one without the other.
[01:11.25]I thought it was very strange.
[01:13.51]I had been thinking about this for some time
[01:15.27]when one day I saw the boys' mother
[01:16.78]in the street."
[01:18.29]Why are your sons always together,
[01:20.06]even though they have nothing in common?"
[01:21.29]I asked her."Well,"she replied.
[01:23.99]"Didn't you know?"
[01:25.21]'Where there's a Will there's a Wayne'."
