An old lady went out shopping last Tuesday. She came to a bank and saw a car near the door. A man got out of it and went into the bank. She looked into the car. The keys were in the lock.
          The old lady took the keys and followed the man into the bank.
The man took a gun out of his pocket and said to the clerk, ‘Give me all the money!’
          But the old lady did not see this. She went to the man, put the keys in his hand and said, ‘Young man, you’re stupid! Never leave your keys in your car: someone’s going to steal it!’
          The man looked at the old woman for a few seconds. Then he looked at the clerk – and then he took his keys, ran out of the bank, got into his car and drove away quickly, without any money.

ၿပီးခဲ့တဲ့ အဂၤါေန႔က အမ်ိဳးသမီးႀကီးတစ္ေယာက္ဟာ ေစ်းဝယ္ထြက္ခဲ့တယ္။ ဘဏ္ကို ေရာက္လာ ၿပီးေတာ့ တံခါးနားမွာ ကားတစ္စီးကို ေတြ႔ခဲ့တယ္။ လူတစ္ေယာက္က ကားထဲက ထြက္လာၿပီးေတာ့ ဘဏ္ထဲကို ဝင္သြားခဲ့တယ္။ သူ(မ)-[အမ်ိဳးသမီႀကီး] က ကားထဲကို ၾကည့္ခဲ့တယ္။ ေသာ့ေတြက ေသာ့ထဲမွာ (ေသာ့တန္းလန္း ရွိေနတာကို ဆိုလိုပါတယ္)။

          ဒါေပမယ့္ အဲဒါကို အမ်ိဳးသမီးႀကီးက မေတြ႔ခဲ့ပါဘူး။ သူ(မ)က လူႀကီးဆီကို သြားခဲ့တယ္၊ သူ႔လက္ထဲကို ေသာ့ေတြထည့္ၿပီး “ေကာင္ေလး၊ နင္ေတာ္ေတာ္ တံုးတာပဲ၊ ကားထဲမွာ ေသာ့တန္းလန္းနဲ႔ ဘယ္ေတာ့မွ မထားခဲ့နဲ႔၊ တစ္ေယာက္ေယာက္က ခိုးယူသြားလိမ့္မယ္” လို႔ ေျပာလိုက္တယ္။
          လူႀကီးက အမ်ိဳးသမီးႀကီးကို ခဏေလာက္ ၾကည့္ခဲ့တယ္၊ ၿပီးေတာ့ စာေရးကို ၾကည့္ခဲ့တယ္၊ အဲဒီေနာက္မွာေတာ့ သူ႔ေသာ့ေတြကို ယူခဲ့တယ္၊ ဘဏ္ထဲက ေျပးထြက္ခဲ့တယ္၊ ကားေပၚတက္ခဲ့တယ္၊ ၿပီးေတာ့ ဘာပိုက္ဆံမွ မပါဘဲ ကားကို ျမန္ျမန္ဆန္ဆန္ ေမာင္းထြက္ခဲ့တယ္။
