      Two men were standing under a tree when it began to rain. One said to the other, “good thing this tree will keep us dry.”

      “But what happens when the treek is soaked, and it can no longer keep us dry?” Asked the second.

      “Don’t worry,” said the first, “we’re in a forest. We’ll just run to another tree.”
