[00:09.36]A Check your spelling

[00:11.84]"Have you ever had trouble

[00:13.06]trying to spell a word?"

[00:14.85]I asked my husbnad one day.

[00:16.87]"Yes,sometimes.Why,what happened?"He asked.

[00:20.96]"This afternoon,I was in the town center,

[00:23.53]where I had been doing some shopping.

[00:25.89]I suddenly realized

[00:26.97]I didn't have any money left.

[00:28.42]so I quickly went to the bank to cash a cheque.

[00:31.01]I wanted to withdraw $40

[00:32.85]from our bank account,

[00:34.25]but I couldn't remember if 40 was spelled,

[00:38.48]'fourty''forty.'"

[00:44.23]"What did you do?"my husband asked.

[00:46.51]"I took out $50 instead."I said.

[00:53.44]A new family moved into the house

[00:55.16]next door to me a few weeks ago.

[00:57.43]They have two sons called william and Wayne.

[01:01.02]William is 14 years old,

[01:02.93]and his little brother is only 3.

[01:05.92]I soon noticed

[01:06.68]that the two boys were always together.

[01:08.70]You never saw one without the other.

[01:11.25]I thought it was very strange.

[01:13.51]I had been thinking about this for some time

[01:15.27]when one day I saw the boys' mother

[01:16.78]in the street."

[01:18.29]Why are your sons always together,

[01:20.06]even though they have nothing in common?"

[01:21.29]I asked her."Well,"she replied.

[01:23.99]"Didn't you know?"

[01:25.21]'Where there's a Will there's a Wayne'."
