NAME:

the joke book

Hippo Horacio learned a lot of jokes to tell his friends when they gather at the playground.
– Hey, Giro, what animal makes your food last longer? – He asks the little giraffe.
“I have no idea,” Giro replies.
- The giraffe. Her food has to go a long way! – Horacio laughs, pointing to Giro's neck.
– Oh, that was bad! - Giro laughs.
– Silvia, what enters the house through the keyhole? – He asks for snake.

Silvia frowns.
– Wait, wait. Let me think…” She is silent for a moment. Then his face lights up.
- The key! - he screams.
- That's right! Very well! exclaims Horatio.
He gets close to the dinosaur Dino and whispers something in his ear, sounding like an adult:
– Dino, what's this carrot doing growing out of your ear like that?
Dino pats his ear, pretending to be surprised.
- I do not know! - he says.
- Neither! That's weird! I thought you planted a cauliflower! – Horacio answers. And he just laughed at his own joke.
– Huuu, Ho-Ho-Ho, Huuu, Ho-Ho-Ho!
All friends fall to the ground with laughter. The joke was funny, but Horacio's laugh was even more so.
