Il Barbone

Un barbone ruba un pollo per sfamarsi e va sulle rive del fiume a mangiarlo. Accende un fuocherello, tira il collo alla gallina e comincia a spennarla. All’improvviso arriva un vigile, il barbone butta subito il pollo nell’acqua, ma il vigile avendolo notato: «Cosa ha buttato nell’acqua?»

«Nell’acqua? Io? Niente, perché?»

«E allora cosa sono tutte queste penne?»

«Niente... c’era un pollo che si voleva fare un tuffo e m’ha detto se gli davo un’occhiata ai vestiti!»
