The eaglets were preparing to leave the nest and fly out into the world when their grandfather happened by. He perched on the side of the nest to wish them well. The eaglets asked what grandfather liked to eat most. 

“That’d have to be salmon, or maybe trout. Oh, one day soon you’ll find out!” 

A granddaughter asked, “What do you usually eat?” 

“Rabbits are always good, and squirrels, you’ve seen squirrels?” 

“Sure, we see a lot, running around on the branches.” 

“Keep an eye out, because those are tasty.” Said the grand old eagle. 

“An eagle-eye,” a smart-mouthed grandson said and was immediately smacked. 

The granddaughter asked, “Birds, what about birds, do we eat those?” 

“Well some, sure. Seagulls, those are fine and pretty easy to catch.” Answered the great eagle. 

A grandson asked, “There’s a big white bird with long legs, it lives by rivers and streams, do you know? Do you eat those?”

 “I think you mean egrets?” his grandfather asked. 

“That’s right, egrets, have you eaten a lot of those?” 

“Egrets, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention.”

Two tomatoes cross the road, and one of them gets squished by a passing car. The other tomato turns to his friend and says, “Come on, ketchup!”

Why did the bicycle fall over? Because it was two-tired of standing up!
