A Woman's Generosity
A Woman's Generosity.
A woman who had'nt time to get her ticket, asked a porter to get it for her. Just as the train was moving off, the porter ran along the platform. “Here's your ticket, ma'am,” he gasped. “It cost three and tuppence.”
“Here's three shillings, my good man,” said the flustered woman leaning out of the carriage window. “Keep the tuppence for yourself.”

Mother (in train): “Tommy, if you are not a good boy I shall smack you.”
Tommy: “You slap me, and I'll tell the guard my real age.”
