One day there were two penguins, and they were playing with each other and talking.
"Hey, would you like to come and play in the water with me?" said the first penguin.
"No, but I would be happy to play follow the leader with you," said the second penguin.
"O.K. but only if you play with me in the water afterwards."
"Whatever. Let's play follow the leader and I am the leader." An Hour Later
"This is getting really boring." said the first penguin.
"Well, what else should I do?" said the second penguin.
"Something better than jumping up and down on the rocks and looking around."
"Fine, I will do something different!"
"Oh. Let's stop. Thie game is getting really boring."
"Spoiled Sport!"
"I am not! I just wanted to play in the water for a little because my feet are getting tired and we have been playing follow the leader for a long time."
"Fine! I will go with you into the water since you played follow the leader with me."
