G: What are you doing?
B: I’m reading a book about ‘humour’.
G: Humour? Aren’t we born with a sense of humour?
B: That’s not true.
G: I wasn’t born with a sense of humour. I’m not a good joke teller.
B: Humour includes a lot more than laughing"and"joke telling. You can develop your sense of humour over a lifetime.
G: How can you develop it?
B: Lose your shy"and"nervous feelings"and"try to laugh at yourself — then you will make others laugh, too.
G: Then?
B: Be willing"and"able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen.
G: Yes.
B:"And"last but not least: laugh or smile inside your heart when something goes wrong in everyday life.
G: Well, now I know. Thank you.
