（单词翻译:单击）

  A KANGAROO hopping1 awkwardly along with some bulky object concealed2
in her pouch3 met a Zebra, and desirous of keeping his attention
upon himself, said:

  "Your costume looks as if you might have come out of the
penitentiary4."

  "Appearances are deceitful," replied the Zebra, smiling in the
consciousness of a more insupportable wit, "or I should have to
think that you had come out of the Legislature."
