Warden
On the beach, a poacher was stopped by a game
warden who said he'd be fined for taking lobsters without a permit. What do you mean? the
man said. I didn't break the laws. These two lobsters are my pets. I'm just going for a
walk with them. Nonsense, the game warden replied. It's true, said the man. They go into
surf for a swim, and when I whistle they come back to me. This I have got to see, the game
warden said. So the man tossed both of the lobsters out into the waves
and the game warden said, Okay. Now let's hear you whistle for your pet lobsters to swim
back to you.
Lobsters? asked the poacher. What lobsters?
