There once was a alien that wanted to learn English. A woman on earth agreed to teach him. When he landed it was just outside of town, so he had to walk to her house. First he passed a opera house where a woman was singing "Me, me, me, me!" In a high-pitched voice.
So he decided to copy her, "Me, me, me, me!" Because this alien was a male with a unusually deep voice you can imagine him copying the opera singer.
Then he passed a restaurant where a chef was teaching someone to set the table in a very frustrated voice, "Forks and knives, forks and knives."
So he copied them "Me, me, me, me! Forks and knives, forks and knives."
Then he passed a schoolyard where the kids were screaming "Goody, goody gumdrops! Goody, goody gumdrops!!!" at the top of their lungs.
So he copied them, "Me, me, me, me! Forks and knives, forks and knives. Goody, goody gumdrops! Goody, goody gumdrops!"
Then when he arrived at the woman's house, he found the police had taped off the house. A young news reporter was asking a police officer who he thought had committed the woman's murder. Then the alien walked up to them, and said "Me, me, me, me!"
in a high pitched opera voice. The reporter got really excited and inquired how he committed the crime. "Forks and knives, forks and knives." He replied in a frustrated voice.
The police officer was surprised to find that the alien knew that when not even the press had been informed yet. So he grabbed our alien's wrists and pulled him toward his car saying "Ok, mister. You're gonna come with me, answer some questions, and maybe spend some time in the slammer."
The alien jumped up and down and screamed excitedly "Goody, goody gumdrops! Goody, goody gumdrops!"
