A firefighter was working on
the engine outside of the
fire station when he noticed
a little girl wearing a
firefighter's helmet, and
sitting in little red wagon.

Little ladders hung off
the sides of the wagon and
a garden hose was tightly
coiled in the middle.

The wagon was pulled
by a cat and a dog.

The firefighter walked
over to take a closer
look.

"That sure is a nice
fire truck," the
firefighter said with
admiration.

"Thanks," replied the
little girl.

The firefighter looked
a little closer and
noticed the girl had
attached a rope from the
wagon to the dog's collar
and another to the cat's
testicles.

"Well partner," said the
firefighter. "I don't want
to tell you how to run your
rig, but if you were to tie
the rope around the cat's
collar too, I think you
could go faster."

The little girl thought
about this for a moment,
and then said "You're
probably right, but then
I wouldn't have a siren."
