Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 A man wanted a smoke. He went to a neighbour's house to light his charcoal. It was the dead of night and the household was asleep. After he had knocked a great deal, some one came down to open the door. At the sight of the man he asked, "Hello! what's the matter?" The man replied, "Can't you guess? You know how fond I am of smoking. I have come here to light my charcoal." The neighbour said, "Ha! Ha! You are a fine man indeed! You took the trouble to come and do all this knocking at the door! Why, you have a lighted lantern in your hand!" What a man seeks is very near him. Still he wanders about from place to place.
