kinda bland

Hippo Horacio has learned more jokes and riddles from his book, he prepared one for Mr. Horse. Giraffe Giro told him that Mr. Horse is losing his hair and that he bought a magic oil to help get it back.
– Hey, Mr. Horse! – the joker Horacio calls him when he sees him in front of the post office one morning. – I have a joke for you.
– Oh, good, Horacio! I love funny jokes! – Mr. Horse smiles. - How it is?

– A horse goes to the doctor's office and says, “Doctor, I'm going bald. I need something to keep my hair.” The doctor looks at the horse and says, "How about a paper bag?"
Horacio laughs at his joke. He told it so well! He looks at Mr. Horse, expecting to hear laughter. But Mr. Horse is not laughing. He's running a hand through his tuft of hair, looking embarrassed.
“Oh, it was very funny, Horacio,” Senhor Cavalo says, without energy. “I better get going,” he adds and hurries to the post office.
“Ho-ho”, thinks Horacio. “I think I hurt Mr. Horse. He must be feeling bad that his hair is falling out.” Horacio goes after him.
“Mr. Horse, I'm really sorry,” Horacio says. - What I did was not very kind.
Mr. Horse smiles, relieved.
- You know what? Just saying you're sorry makes everything better. Thank you, Horacio! – he runs his hand over Horacio's head. – Nice hair, by the way! - He comments, and both burst into laughter.
