It's an easy way to train the little rest of our school English it it may be funny on top.
So I'll give it a try once again. I'd like to present you a short story, which I learned during a Doc Watson-Concert, where this great guitarist told it between his songs.
It goes like this:
A small-town preacher was known for getting around town on his bicycle. One day, a neighbor noticed him walking and asked him about his missing bike.
The preacher said, "Can you believe someone stole it?!" The man replied, "I have an idea. On Sunday, give a sermon on the Ten Commandments. When you get to Thou Shalt Not Steal, really rail on it, and the thief is sure to feel guilty and return your bike." The preacher agreed and went on his way. A week later, the neighbor again ran into the preacher, reunited with his bike. "So the sermon worked, I see!" The preacher answered, "Apparently so! I got to Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery and remembered where I left my bike."
