The Alderman and the Raccoon
'I SEE quite a number of rings on your tail,' said an Alderman to a Raccoon that he met in a zoological garden.
'Yes,' replied the Raccoon, 'and I hear quite a number of tales on your ring.'
The Alderman, being of a sensitive, retiring disposition, shrank from further comparison, and, strolling to another part of the garden, stole the camel.
