ONCE an ant and an elephant were playing hide and seek game. The ant hid in the temple when it was elephant’s turn to catch. She was caught instantly. The ant was astonished and asked the elephant how he came to know she was hiding in the temple. He replied, “I saw your sandals outside the gate of the temple!”

A MAN was looking out his window when he noticed that there was a snail on one of his plants. So he took the snail and threw him as far as he could. Ten years later, the same man, but now old heard a tap, tap, tap on his window, and when he looked at the windowsill he saw an angry snail who looked at him and said, “Hey, what did you do that for?”

THERE were two cows in a field. The first cow said “moo” and the second cow said “baaaa.” The first cow asked the second cow, “Why did you say baaaa?” The second cow said, “I’m learning a foreign language.”
