A Wagina men and a North Malaitan attended an Adult Literacy class to learn to read and write. When it came time to be tested, the teacher says to the Gilbertese, "Recite your ABC and tell me what each letter stands for." So the Gilbertese starts off "A for Happle, B for Ball....." then is rudely interrupted by the North Malaitan who laughs and says "yo yo ma save ABC too? A for apple, B for Ball and C....um....C.....um.....C.....ummmmmmmm....C for Cicis (scissors)!......."
Finally, a Renbel villager was talking to Our Telekom engineers who had gone to install the Breeze GSM service at Tingoa on Rennell, "You blo wea wantok"...one of the engineers replies "me blo Malaita" The other says he is from Guadalcanal and one said Western Province....The villagers thinks for a moment then says, "man you fala ya province blo u fala garem staka development tomas...lo Guale, lo Auki and lo Gizo...barava top tumas..me fala lo hia ya only time me fala herem development nomoa lo radio...time SIBC say - low pressure development for Rennell Bellona province with the liklihood of developing into a cyclone!".....

2 wontoks from Areka were called upon from the village to work in a 30-seater bus as bus conductors. During the first week they were working along side an experienced bus-conductor to try and learn the skills from him. Things and places in Honiara were still new to them. And they noticed that everyday people would bat a small white ball with a racket along the Ranadi highway, at the golf course. After 3 days they were starting to be confident with their new job, they knew all the bus stop names, when to collect money or signal for a stop. They finally found themselves maning the bus without assistance from the experience bus conductor. They became well-known to the usual travelling passengers. They waved and smiled and shouted to every new people they drove past along the streets. During their usual daily trips from Rove to KG, they always noticed the same people with the rackets hitting the small white ball again as if they have nothing else useful to do other than playing... With his hyperactive, vigilant and cynical attitude one of the 2 decided to put his head out of the window and sarcastically shouted at them (in pidgin), "Yo yo, soft poro orowe?..." and he smiled.... Everyone in the bus giggled and smiled at him. His other colleague also joined the others in laughing at him and put him of. With the intend to correct him, his colleague turned and whispered back to him (in dialect) "soft poro e mao nai na,...", and continues to giggle, "....kirikiti....". ("meaning:..it's not soft ball..... but.... criket")
Little Ms 2 was excited to have returned from Day Care. Keen for some approval, she proudly announces that she has started school. So Dad decides ok lets see how much you have learned at "school"....Do you know your ABC? he asks and Little Ms 2 replies...."A,B,C,D,E,F,G....umm...umm..." Dad decides...thats impressive for a two year old....Ok do you know 1 2 3?.....Little Ms 2 smiles and rattles off "1,2,3,4,5,6,7"......Wow, thats incredible!!!....Ok so do you know what A stands for? And Little Ms 2 replies "A for Apple".....and what does B stand for? "B for Ball"....with a wicked little smile...and C?...."C for Kangaroo!!!"......u can't beat that!!!!
