A DANGEROUS PLACE
The Story: Once a sailor was very proud of the war services of his family. He said to a friend one day that his brother, father, uncle and grand-father all died at sea. “Then you should never go to the sea, for it is a very dangerous place for your family.” The sailor was greatly amused to hear these words. But he asked his friend where most of his kith and kin had breathed their last. “Well”, replied he, “every one of them passed away in his bed.” “I see”, remarked the sailor. “Then your bed is a very dangerous place for you, I must advise you, therefore, to refrain from going near it.”
