Job vacancy
The first person was a jaguar, who said “I can run really, really fast” “Okay, there is a little test I would like you to do. Can you
get to the other end of this field, with “No problem” said the jaguar “I can hold them with my teeth, as if I was carrying a cub” And off he went. Zoooom. He ran to the other end of that field very fast indeed. But sadly,
all the eggs had teeth marks in “Sorry Mr Jaguar you are not the one for the job”. Next was a golden eagle. He said that he could carry the eggs in his
talons, so no need to worry “Cor, that was fast. But where are the eggs?”. Well, the eggs had been safely carried in the eagles talons. But how does a bird land? That's right, on it's feet. All the eggs had been squished! “Oh no, this is not the job for you Mr Golden Eagle”. Next person was a rabbit. “I'm not as fast as the eagle or the
jaguar, but I'm not the slowest of “Okay we will give you a go. How will you carry the eggs? This
is quite an important part of the “Oh that’s not a problem” said the animal. “I
