Thank you for expressing your interest in starting a relationship with me. However, I must tell you that I am not able to offer you a place as a boyfriend at this time. This year, luckily, I got a large number and wonderful love

confessions, making the competition really intense, and you are truly one of the most outstanding candidates among the candidate pool. However, I have only one position for boyfriend, so I have to deny love confession from many well-qualified boys such as you.

Thank you for telling me you have strong feelings for me by sending me a love letter, but my heart belongs to someone else. If you don’t mind, I hope we can keep our friendship as usual. I do want to wish you the very best that you can find your Miss Right, who is far better than me, and I appreciate you for considering me in your plans. Again, I’m sorry that I could not respond to your love confession in a positive fashion.

With best regards,

Once upon a time, a rich old woman lived in a big house full of valuable furniture. Unfortunately, the old lady began to lose her eyesight. Worried that she might become blind, she went to see a doctor. The doctor promised her to cure her, but she had to pay him a high fee in return. The old woman said that if the doctor could cure her eyes, she would pay the doctor’s fee; however, if he failed to do so, she would pay him nothing. The doctor agreed with her and began his treatment.

The doctor visited the old woman regularly to see how she was getting on, and every time he came to see her, he would steal something from her house. One day he would take a picture hanging upon the wall, and another day a piece of expensive furniture. Finally, when there was nothing left in the old woman’s house, the doctor declared that his treatment was almost over. He paid her a last visit and asked for his fee.

When the old woman saw that her house was completely empty, she refused to pay him his fee. The doctor sued her and took her to court. The old woman was brought into the court, and when questioned by the judge, she declared, “That’s right. I agreed to pay the doctor his fee if he cured me, and he agreed that he would charge nothing if he failed. Now he insists that I am cured, but how can that be? When he started his treatment, my eyes were failing, but I could see the furniture and other things in my house; but now, I

can see nothing at all! Instead of curing me, the doctor has blinded me!”

The judge understood what the old woman was saying. The old woman went home free, while the doctor spent the rest of his years in jail!
