PENGUIN IN THE PARK

Penguin in the Park

Once a man was walking in the park when he came across a penguin.

He took him to a policeman and said, “I have just found this penguin. What shall I do?”

The policeman replied, “Take him to the zoo?”

The next day the policeman saw the same man in the same park and the man was still carrying the penguin with him. The policeman was rather surprised and walked up to the man and asked, “Why are you still carrying that penguin about? Didn’t you take it to the zoo?”

“I certainly did, “replied the man. It was a great idea because he really enjoyed it. So today I’m taking him to the movies!”

A LION AND A MOUSE

 A Lion and a mouse

          A lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him when the mouse piteously entered, saying, “ If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness.”

          The lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by hunters, who bound with him with strops to the ground. The mouse, recognizing his roar, came, gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set him free, axclaiming, “You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor ; now you know that it is possible for even a mouse to confer on a big lion.”
