ways to prepare them. Follow the steps!
First of all, place the raw egg in a
saucepan!
Second, Run cold water into the saucepan
until the water is 1 inch above the egg.

stove and cook over medium heat until the water begins to boil.

soft-boiled eggs or 10 to 15 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.

ladle and let it cool slowly, or run cold water over it to cool it more quickly.

The Zoo Job Story
One day a clown was visiting the zoo and
attempted to earn some money by making a street performance. He acted and mimed
perfectly some animal acts. As soon as he started to drive a crowd, a zoo
keeper grabbed him and dragged him into his office. The zoo keeper explained to
the clown that the zoo's most popular gorilla had died suddenly and the keeper
was fear that attendance at the zoo would fall off. So he offered the clown a
job to dress up as the gorilla until the zoo could get another one. The clown
accepted this great opportunity.
So the next morning the clown put on the gorilla suit and entered the cage before the crowd came. He felt that it was a great job. He could sleep all he wanted, played and made fun of people and he drove bigger crowds than he ever did as a clown. He pretended the gorilla successfully.
However, eventually the crowds were tired of him for just swinging on tires. He began to notice that the people were paying more attention to the lion in the next cage. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he decided to make a spectacular performance. He climbed to the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this made the lion furious, but the crowd people loved it.
At the end of the day the zoo keeper came and gave him a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this went on for some time, he kept taunting the lion, the audience crowd grew a larger, and his salary kept going up. Then one terrible day happened. When he was dangling over the furious lion, he slipped and fell into the lion cage. The clown was really in big terrible situation. He was terrified.
Sooner the lion gathered itself and prepared to pounce. The clown was so scared. He could do nothing and he began to run round and round the cage with the lion close and closer behind. Finally, the lion could catch him. The clown started screaming and yelling, "Help me, help me!", but the lion was quick and pounces. The clown soon found himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and suddenly he heard a voice from the lion’s mouth;"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?".
