"Dia lap dakwat dengan seluar."

*Not the boy's real name.

A pupil of mine always plays with ink in my class. His mother saw the mess and yelled out a practical suggestion.

Si Bongok :

John* spilled ink on the floor again?

Wan :

Yes. Last week it was blue ink. This week it is black ink.

Si Bongok:

Ask him to mop the floor.

Wan :

He mopped the floor with his own white shirt.

Si Bongok :

Ha! John's mother ( will ) faint !

Wan :

No, she only says: " Don't mop with the shirt, mop with the pants!
