Storytime…
Not so long ago I was at a BBQ for someones birthday from church and was standing around chatting to a couple of guys when one of them comes out with this little gem of a story.
It’s completly true and definately needs to be retold…
He knew this guy that lived in Lithgow who one day took his family down to Taronga Zoo for the day by train, now they had a son with down syndrome who during the day got lost and after 3 hours of searching for him they finally get paged over the loud speaker to come to the front office as he had been found. When they get there they see that he is soaking wet from head to toe and no matter how much they questioned him he wouldn’t tell them where he had been the whole time.
So they decided to hop back on the train and get him home. The whole train ride he wouldn’t say a thing but just sat there clutching his backpack, then when they were getting close to Lithgow they see his bag move by itself!!
So they slowly open it only to find a penguin inside!!
When they got home they had to sheepishly call the zoo and ask them to come pick up their penguin.

That CAN’T be true?
Surely?
But I truly hope it is…

Wow, this guy’s mate must have been winding him up then!
.
I’m a little dissapointed now… Why would you do that Gnomes?! It’s a good story! Don’t go searching the for things like that, the internet was only ever intended to entertain and make people laugh, but others go and put together sites designed to burst peoples bubbles and tear down funny stories, it’s just not right!
