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."
