Colonial Knowledges

In getting down from a tree, a bear caught him.
I did nothing at all. I did not see you.
I will not listen to your story.
Don't leave me.
Lift this box.
Chase the cattle.
Do your work, and don't make a row.
If you are idle, I shall get you beaten.
Wake me in the morning.

I shall require two elephants for my luggage.
If there are no elephants tell the mauzadar to send coolies.

One should not laugh in presence of the Sahib.
