CENTIPEDE FOOTBALL
The story is told about a football game between the big animals and the little animals. At the start of the second half the big animals were ahead and gave Tiger the ball. When he reached the scrimmage line, down he went. He hobbled back to the huddle and the big animals asked him, “What hit you?” the tiger said, “that centipede.” Next they gave the ball to Lion. With a roar he ran to the line of scrimmage, but down he went. The other animals asked him, “What happened?” The lion answered, “It was that centipede!” So they gave the ball to Rhino. When he too tumbled to the ground at the scrimmage line, they asked, “What happened?” He said, “It was that centipede!” “Where was that centipede the first half?” the big animals asked the coach of the little animals. “Putting on his shoes,” the coach said.
