the example of spoof text
Green, Pink, and Yellow
Can you name the colors in English? Yes, you’re right. Blue, red, yellow, and so on. Bu the way, I have funny story about the colors. Do you want to hear it? Ok, listen to me carefully.
One day, an English teacher was explaining about colors to his students.
After he had finished explaining, he asked his students “Who can make a sentence using the words green, pink and yellow?” James, the smartest student in the class, quickly raised his hand and answered, ”When the yellow morning sun comes, I see a beautiful girl wearing a pink blouse walking through the green grass”.
“Excellent! James, you are a very good student.” praised the teacher.
“Me, me, sir” Johny, the naughtiest student in the class said while raising his hand.
And then he said, “I heard the telephone ringing green...green, then I pink up the receiver and I said, “Yellow,who’s speaking there?”
