“An Amateur Boxer”

A prizefighter, having a rough time in his first important fight, was floored in the third round by
a powerful punch. With glazed eyes, he tried to look up from the mat.

“Let the referee count,” yelled his trainer. “Don’t get up until eight.”

The fighter nodded and asked weakly, “What time is it now?”
