1224- The Kangaroo and the Zebra

 The Kangaroo and the Zebra


  A KANGAROO hopping awkwardly along with some bulky object concealed
in her pouch met a Zebra, and desirous of keeping his attention
upon himself, said:

  "Your costume looks as if you might have come out of the
penitentiary."

  "Appearances are deceitful," replied the Zebra, smiling in the
consciousness of a more insupportable wit, "or I should have to
think that you had come out of the Legislature."
