The Subway

A pregnant woman enters in the subway. Everyone keeps their head down and pretends to be sleeping. Finally I decide to get up and offer my seat - then everyone wakes up. 
"I'm not pregnant!" she says.
It's decided. From now on, I'll always pretend to be asleep.

  6. I like your story because it is very funny. It is a story that could happen in real life, and this would be a very embarrassing situation. I will not sit on the subway anymore, just in case... ha, ha, ha

  7. I like this story because I think it is funny. It explains the pure reality, our daily...

    It is realistic and speaks about the trend that all people have to be selfish, not to help and not engage in the things that surround us.

    The final sentence has an ironic tone and make us laugh.

    I like this story. It´s a situations that can happen in real life, so when you are reading the story seems a daily life situation.
    The story is very funny and has a surprising ending when the woman said that she isn´t pregnant. Also it is a embarrassing situations.
    We can get a moral lesson with this story.

  11. I like this story because it has made me laugh and, in adition, it's a daily situation that can happen usually. It mixes the good customs as offering tha seat to a pregnant woman with the irony of making a mistake trying to be kind.
