Mine goes like that:

In a classroom, the teacher asks every kid to bring up a 10 lei note to donate for helping people against the poverty in Burundi. The next day everyone brings the money, except for Bulă.

Bulă, why did you not bring the money? Asked the teacher
Dad said there is no poverty in Burundi.

The following week, the teacher asks everyone to bring 10 lei to donate for helping people against the famine in Burundi. The next day, everyone brings the money, except for Bulă.

Bulă, why did you not bring the money? Asked the teacher
Dad said there is no famine in Burundi.

The following week, the teacher asks children to bring 10 lei in order to support the Communist Party in Burundi. The next day, everyone brings 10 lei each, but Bulă brings 30 lei. When asked why, Bulă said:

Dad told me that if there is a Communist Party in Burundi, there might also be famine and poverty as well.
