 Comic﹕A flag-selling scam

【明報專訊】It is a good deed to donate money to help others. However, we have a duty to find out where the money we donate goes.

“ Bill: Oh, today is a flag day. I've got some money to donate! ”

“ Bill: Pat is over there. Who is she talking to? ”

“ Eason: Have you got a flag yet? ”

“ Bill: Excuse me, you've misspelled fund-raising. Wait! You are Eason! ”

“ Dr Panda: It is already 1 pm. Flag selling hours are from 7 am to 12:30 pm only. ”

“ Pat: Who knows where my money would go if Bill hadn't revealed your identity! ”
