The Bore who Bore All The Way from Borneo

He didn't men to bore very far, but the boar who bored all the way from Borneo fell down a drain left slightly ajar. Beofre long, the hole was four feet deep, dug by the boar with his four digging feet. Then after a week or so, the boar had reached Tokyo. He didn't know which way to go, so he veered left but got stuck in the snow. Then the boar headed East, where he hit the Alps and one of the pistes. He turned West and took a rest, his underground tunnel was one of the best. On his way from Borneo, the boring boar started to go slow. Beneath the Atlantic ocean, he met a very friendly shark, though he could only see his teeth glistening in the dark. He kept on digging with all his might - his feet were soon so tired, he had to stop for the night. Borneo was way behind, the boar found diamonds as he mined. He dug and dug for all he was worth - a thousand metres beneath the Earth. First East, then West, then South then North. In Africa, the boar popped up to say "hello !", from the bore hole where the boar was bored below. As the boar dug as fast as he could, he slipped and tripped, slid and skid in the mud. Soon, the hole was as big as the whole wide world - when an Aborigine cried out in Borneo, in Canada he was heard.
