Once there was a crow. It was a hot day, and the crow was extremely thirsty. He kept flying around, looking for some water. After a very long time, he finally found a jar of water. With great happiness, he flew to the jar to drink the water. But when he tried to put his head into the jar, he realised it was too narrow. He tried to tilt the put, but it was too heavy. Sad and frustrated, he kept thinking. Finally, he saw pebbles on the ground. He had an idea.

One by one, he put the pebbles into the jar. The water level slowly rose, and the crow could drink the water.

Double negatives are a big no-no

This pun is simply for the giggles of word play.
I believe it is straight to the point too if you have familiarized yourself with puns.

1st meaning: negative situations should not come in pairs! (they are not pleasant at all)
2nd meaning: two negatives do not make a positive! try it with your batteries at home :)
3rd meaning: when writing, you can not put two negative statements,(no-no)! one no is enough :) :)

Both insightful and hilarious word play!
Until next time !

Once upon a time, there was a proud, evil lion. He said he was the king of the jungle. Every day, he would mercilessly go hunting and kill many animals for his food. Soon, all the animals were worried. They held a meeting and decided that if the lion continues to do this, then no animal will survive. So, they approached the lion and told him a proposal. Each day, they said, they would send one animal to the lion’s den. This way, the rest of the animals for that day will be at peace, and the lion would not need to go hunting. The lion liked the plan. So from the next day, the lion would wait in his den while the others sent an animal for his meal. This happened for many days. Finally, it was the turn of a very old but wise rabbit. He was forced to be the meal of the day for the lion. He decided to put an end to this. So, he took a longer route and made sure he got to the lion’s den very late.

The hungry lion who was angry roared at the rabbit and asked him why he was late. The rabbit then told him that he was late because another stronger lion was chasing him. He told the lion that the stronger lion claimed to be the king of the jungle. When the lion heard this, he was furious. He asked the rabbit to show him where the other lion was. The rabbit took the lion to a well. He pointed inside and told the lion that the other lion was inside.

When the lion looked in, he saw his own reflection but thought it was another lion. He roared in anger, and the reflection did the same. Brimming with anger, the lion jumped into the well to fight with the other lion but ended up falling to his death because of his stupidity. The moral of this story is that sometimes, intelligence is more important than physical strength.

I try to avoid birthdays. Too many will kill you.!!

Definitely the first time I have heard of this pun but I love it !
Very direct in both its meanings and very true.

1st meaning: Too much birthday cake or sweets is bad for your health.
2nd meaning: The more birthdays you have, the older you become and closer to heaven.(yikes)

The second meaning is a bit sombre huh!

Last week we started our week off with some thoughtful riddles.
