Tom and Lily are friends who like to joke with each other. They play games and try to make each other laugh. Sometimes they are competitive and want to win.
One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big cooler with drinks and snacks. They are thirsty and hungry, so they run to the cooler.
"Can I have a juice, please?" Tom asks his mom.
"Me too, me too!" Lily says.
Their moms give them each a juice box and a cookie. They sit on the grass and enjoy their treats.
"Hey, Lily, do you want to hear a joke?" Tom says.
"Sure, Tom, tell me a joke," Lily says.
"Okay, here it goes. Why did the chicken cross the road?" Tom says.
"I don't know, why?" Lily says.
"To get to the cooler!" Tom says and laughs.
Lily thinks for a moment, then shakes her head.
"That's not a joke, Tom, that's silly. The chicken would not want a juice or a cookie. The chicken would want seeds or worms," Lily says.
Tom frowns. He thinks his joke is funny.
"No, Lily, you don't get it. It's a joke because it's unexpected. The chicken does something different than usual. That's what makes it funny," Tom says.
Lily shrugs. She does not think it's funny.
"Well, I have a better joke, Tom. Do you want to hear it?" Lily says.
"Okay, fine, tell me your joke," Tom says.
"Okay, here it goes. What do you get when you cross a cooler and a competitive kid?" Lily says.
"I don't know, what?" Tom says.
"A cool kid!" Lily says and laughs.
Tom rolls his eyes. He thinks his joke is better.
"That's not a joke, Lily, that's lame. The cooler and the kid have nothing to do with each other. That's what makes it boring," Tom says.
Lily smiles. She thinks her joke is clever.
"No, Tom, you don't get it. It's a joke because it's a pun. The cooler and the kid sound the same. That's what makes it funny," Lily says.
Tom and Lily look at each other. They realize they have different kinds of jokes. They decide to agree to disagree.
They finish their juice and cookies and go back to playing. They still like to joke with each other, but they also respect each other's humor. They are friends who have fun.
