The Centipede That Played Football


One day the animals decide to play football - big animals against little animals.

In the first half of the game, the big animals score all the points. Every time they get the ball, they score a touchdown.

The second half of the game starts and the elephant runs the ball up the middle. Smack! Tackled for a 5 yard loss. The little animals are very happy.

"Who made that tackle?" asks the ant. "I did," says the centipede.

Then the lion runs the ball up the middle. Tackled again!

Back in the huddle the flea asks, "Who made that great stop?" "I did," says the centipede.

The same thing happens in the next play. The gorilla tries to run the ball and the centipede tackles him for a ten yard loss.

Back in the huddle, the toad says to the centipede, "You are awesome! Where were you in the first half?" The centipede answers, "I was putting on my shoes!"
