If I Don't Do Anything Else
    Yesterday morning Paul said to himself. "I've got to write that economics paper today. If I don't do anything else, I've got to write that paper. "
    He sat down at his desk and put a sheet. of paper into his typewriter. He looked out of the window, ate a piece of candy, got up to get a drink of water, brushed his teeth, and sat down at his desk again.

    "I haven't written my family since Thanksgiving," he said to himself. "I'll write them a letter first. "
    Paul wrote his family a long letter. "My typewriter needs a new ribbon. I've got to change this ribbon before I write my
economics paper."

    The ink from the typewriter ribbon got his hands very dirty, so he washed them and washed them. While he was washing his hands, he noticed that his fingernails were much too long. He cut them very carefully and then went back to his desk. He put a sheet of paper into his typewriter . looked out of the wiudow, and looked at his watch. It was noon.
    "I'll get some lunch now,".he said to himself. "After lunch I'll write that paper, if I don't do anything else. "
