Teaching the natives English

A priest was about to finish his tour of duty, and was leaving his mission in the jungle where he has spent years teaching the natives when he realizes that the one thing he never taught them was how to speak English.

So he takes the chief for a walk in the forest. He points to a tree and says to the chief, ‘This is a tree.’

More than a hundred residents of an Australian island pitched in to help save dozens of pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins that had stranded on a beach Sunday night. This Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries handout photo shows rescue workers trying to save some of the nearly 200 whales and several dolphins which have beached themselves on King Island off southern Australia on March 2, 2009.
