TELEPHONE

            A telephone is a device that transforms voices into electrical signalso that  people can communicate over lng distances. Telephone have a number of parts. On the outside of the handset there is a mouthpiece, an earpiece, and a keypad. Inside the mouthpiece is a microphone which contains a plastic disk called diaphragm. The earpice conyains a loudspeaker. People talk to each other on the telephone through the microphones in the handset. The sound of the caller’s voice causes the diaphragm to vibrate. As it vibrates, it generates an electrical signal that passes down the telephone line to the receiving telephone. When the receiving telephone gets the signals, the diaphragm in the earpiece loudspeaker also vibrates and creates the sound of the person’s voice at the other end.

          There are many different kinds of phones. Most home and offices phones have key pads and many are now portable. Mobile phones are not physically connected to a network and can be used from almost anywhere. Videophones which contain a small TV camera, gives users a chance to see each other.

            Nasreddin was very poor. He  didn’t have any money to buy even some fruits. He knew that  this neighbour had a large garden of fruit trees. But a high concrete fence surrounded the gareden.

            Nasreddin climbed the fence and jumped into to the garden. He climbed  up to the most fruitful tree. He picked some fruits and put them into his bag. Suddenly, someone said, “hi, sir. What are you doing there? This is my garden, don’t you know?”

            Nasreddin was afraid and ashamed. He answered, “ I’m sorry to hear that. But why do you pick my fruits?”

            “When the cyclone swept me into this garden, i lost my balance and tried to hold something. And i could only reach the fruits, “Nasreddin answered.

            “Really?” the man said. “Then why are they in your bag?” Nasreddin replied, “well, that’s what I am thinking about now. Why are they in my bag?”
