Weekly Joke

"A chicken marches into the library, walks up to the library desk, and says: 'Book, book, BOOK!'

The librarian hands over a a couple of slim children’s paperbacks, and watches the chicken as it leaves the library, walks across the street, through a field, and disappears down the hill.

Next day, the chicken is back. Walks right up to the librarian, drops the books on her desk, and says, 'Book, Book, BOOK, BOOK!' The librarian hands over a few books and again watches the chicken drag them away.

The next day, the chicken comes for a third time. Drops the books on the desk, and says, 'Book, Book, Book, BOOK!!'

This time, once the chicken is out the door, the librarian follows — across the street, through a field, and down the hill to a small pond.

On a rock on the edge of the pond is the biggest frog the librarian has ever seen. The chicken walks up to the frog, drops the book on the pond’s edge, and says, 'Book, Book, Book!'

The frog hops over, uses the front leg to push through the pile, and says: 'Read it, read it, read it…' ”
