A guy was lonely and so he decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede (100-legged bug) , which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the box back home, found a good location for the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to a restaurant to have a meal.
So he asked the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's with me and have a bite to eat?" But there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again, "How about going out and having a snack with me?"
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet. So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time - this time putting his face up against the centipede's house and shouting,he said, "Hey, in there! Would you like to go get some food with me?
A tiny little voice came out of the box . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I heard you the first time! I'm putting on my shoes."
