A gentleman was sunbathing in the nude when he saw a little girl coming towards him, and hurriedly covered himself up with the newspaper he was reading.

The girl came up to him and asked: "What that's sticking up under your paper, mister?"
"Er, um — A bird," the man replied. The little girl walked away and the man soon fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found himself in hospital in agonising pain with a policeman sitting by the side of his bed. The policeman asked him what had happened.
"I have no idea," replied the man. "I was sunbathing on the nudist beach when a little girl in a blue dress came over and asked me what I had under my paper."
"Under your paper?" asked the policeman.
"Well — I, er covered myself up with the paper when I saw the little girl, officer. The next thing I knew I woke up here with terrible pains in my groin."

The Policeman went back to the beach, where he finally located the little girl, and asked her what she had done to the man.
After a little pause, the little girl replied, "To him? Nothing. When the man fell asleep I thought I'd take a peek at his bird. I was playing with it when it suddenly jumped up and spat at me, so I broke its neck, cracked its eggs, and set its nest on fire."
