Saved From Drowning

An Englishman fell into a canal while walking along the towpath with his wife. He couldnt swim， and he began yelling for help. A young lad who was fishing nearby immediately jumped into the water and saved him.

The woman said， “Thank you， little boy. You saved my husband.”

“Was I？ The give him fifty pence，” he replied.
