Once a man was walking in a park when he came
across a penguin
He took him to a policeman and said,”I have
just found this penguin. What should 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

And it was a great idea because he really
enjoyed it, so today I’m taking him to the movies!
