Read the following passage carefully
1. One of heaven's best gifts to man is humour for it adds pleasure to life, both in health and sickness, and help to promote
good feelings among people in their daily dealings with one another. Think for a moment what life would be if there were no humour or wit in the world, no laughter, no fun. Now, humour is not the same thing as wit. Wit is concerned chiefly with words, while humour deals rather with situations, a man may be witty and yet possess much humour. Humour is much larger and profounder than wit. Nearly
the greatest writers have the gift of humour
2. But like the pleasurable things of life, wit and have their
dangers and three of the commons are those of being vulgar, unkind and profane. In other words, those who use gifts of wit and humour must avoid vulgarity, must see that they do not hurt the feelings of
others, must be aware of jesting about sacred things. The only way
in which you can acquire the right taste for what is good in the world of wit and humour is to read good examples, of which there are many in literature. Shakespeare is a mine in himself and so is Dickens.
