Samuel Johnson was b 1 in 1709 and died in 1784--a long life, though one marred by depression and fear of death. O 2 April 20, 1764, for example, he declared, "I would consent to h 3 a limb amputated to recover my spirits." Many of the q 4 Boswell includes are a sort of greatest hits: Johnson's d 5 of oats and lexicographer, his love for his cat Hodge, as well as thousands of bon, and mal, mots. ("Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel"; "Sir, a woman's preaching is l 6 a dog's walking on his hinder legs. It is not done well; but you are s 7 to find it done at all.") But there are also many unfamiliar pleasures--Boswell's accounts of Johnson's literary industry, i 8 the Dictionary, The Rambler and Lives of the Poets; Johnson's singular loathing for Scotland and France; and the surprising hints of revelry.
A 9 at 3 AM by friends, he greets them with, "What, is it you, you dogs! I'll have a frisk with you." This at age 42. Johnson's final years were m 10 by pain and loneliness but certainly no loss of wit.

A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were o 1 for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down. F 2 , the pilot grabbed a parachute and yelled to the passengers that they better jump, and he himself bailed out.
Unfortunately, t 3 were only three parachutes remaining.
The doctor grabbed one and s 4 “I’m a doctor, I save lives, so I must live,” and jumped out.
The lawyer then said, “I’m a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the w 5 . I deserve to live.” He also grabbed a parachute and jumped.
The priest l 6 at the little boy and said, “My son, I’ve lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life a 7 of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace.”
The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, “Not to worry Father. The smartest man in the world just t 8 off with my back pack.”
Moral: Your j 9 doesn’t always define you, but being a Good Human being Does.

Once Buddha was walking f 1 one town to another town with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. W 2 they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, “I am t 3 . Please get me some water from that lake there”.
The disciple w 4 up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a r 5 , the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to d 6 ”.
So, the Buddha said, let us t 7 a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and g 8 him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he c 9 some water in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.
The Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said, “See, You let the water be and the mud settled down on its own. You got a clear water. It didn’t require any e 10 ”.

One day, the father was doing some work and his son came and asked, “Daddy, m 1 I ask you a question?” Father said, “Yeah sure, what it is?” So his son asked, “Dad, how much do you make an hour?” Father got bit upset and s 2 , “That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” Son said, “I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” So, the father told him that “I make Rs. 500 per hour.”
“Oh”, the little boy replied, with his head d 3 . Looking up, he said, “Dad, may I please borrow Rs. 300?” The father furiously said, “if the only reason you asked about my pay is so that you can b 4 some money to buy a silly toy or other nonsense, then march yourself to your room and go to bed. Think w 5 you are being so selfish. I work hard every day and do not like this childish b 6 .”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had c 7 down and started to think, “Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs. 300 and he really didn’t ask for money very often!” The man w 8 to the door of little boy’s room and opened the door.“ Are you sleeping, son?” He asked. “No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy. “I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier”, said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you, Here’s the Rs.300 you asked for”.
The little boy sat straight up, s 9 “oh thank you, dad!” He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled some crippled up notes. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.
“Why do you want money if you already had some?” the father grumbled. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy I have Rs. 500 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would l 10 to have dinner with you”. Father was dumbstruck.
