Don't Worry

"Don't Worry"*

*One day at the animal hospital where I worked,
an owner brought in an African Gray parrot to have
its beak and wings trimmed.

The owner warned that the bird disliked these
procedures and was apt to bite.

I donned thick gloves and cautiously opened the
cage. The parrot regally stepped out, looking up
at me, and said,

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you."

"First Cooking Experience"*

*The newly-married husband came home from the
office to find his young wife in floods of tears.

"Darling, whatever is the matter?" he asks.

"Sweetheart," she sobs, "the most terrible thing
has happened! I cooked my very first Beef
Bourguignon for you, and I got it out the oven to
season it, and the phone rang. When I came back
from answering the phone," she sobbed again,
"I found that the cat had eaten it!"

"Don't worry, darling," said her husband. "Don't cry.
We'll get a new cat in the morning..."
