The Famous Rhino

Once there was a rhino who became famous. He had restaurants named after him. He even had a dinosaur named after him! He was the most famous rhino that ever lived. Once his brother, Jack, visited him, and there was trouble.

He started making him spend money for him.

He did it until every last cent of that rhino was spent.

The famous rhino became very furious and said to his brother, "How dare you, I mean you can't just try to make my money disappear. Now I have to get a job."

"It can't be all that bad", explained Jack.

"Oh, it is that bad", replied rhino. "Do you know what working can do to you?"

"Working can't do anything to you", said Jack.

"Oh, fine. I'll get a job then." said rhino.

He got a job to be a fry cook. Day after day he continued working until finally he got his check. And he started getting fame again.

But, then his brother, Jack, did the same thing.

"That's it. I can't take it anymore. I can't continue working", said rhino.

"Oh, calm down. Everything's going to be OK. Just get another job." replied Jack.

"Oh, you dummy. Do you think money grows on trees?" said rhino furiously.

Rhino picked up Jack by his neck and hanged him against the wall. "If you're going to make me work again, I'm going to make you work." said rhino.

So they started trying to find a job for Jack.
"Looks like you're going to have to be a waiter," said rhino.

"Oh, no", said Jack. "I'm certainly not going to touch other people's plates after they've put their mouths on it."

"Well, then. What do you want to be?"

"I want to be an actor."

Rhino looked puzzled. "Do you think they'll even pay you?" asked rhino.

"Of course", answered Jack. "Directors always pay actors after they've been in some kind of movie or commercial."

So, Jack turned into an actor. And rhino got all his money back.

The End.
