Two Jerry Builders.

Once upon a time there were two builders, each of whom built a row of houses in a certain town. One stormy night just after the houses had been completed, all those of Builder No. 1 were blown down. The houses of Builder No. 2 withstood the gale. Builder No. 1 could not understand why his property should suffer and his rival's be spared. On putting the question to the latter, he received this reply • " Well my boy, you see my houses were papered."
