Homonym is a word with the same spelling or sound as another, but different meaning. There’s an Indonesian boy who doesn’t speak English. He only knows a few words in English, that is I’m sorry, thank you, happy, number one until ten.

One day, he got in a bus. There was a foreigner in the bus as well. This boy was not in purpose to step on the foreigner’s foot.

“Auchhh…!” responded the foreigner.

“I’m sorry, Sir,” said the boy.

“It’s ok. I’m sorry too,” replied the foreigner with smilling.

“I’m sorry there,” said the boy again.

The foreigner frowned his forehead and said “What are you sorry for?”

“I’m sorry five,” said the boy again.

This boy thought the foreigner said apology by counting the number.
