				This is a story about a fly, a fish, a bear, a hunter, a mouse and a cat.
 
 
There is a moral to this story, but not exactly the one most of us are
 
expecting!
 
 
---------------------------------------------------
 
 
In the dead of summer a fly was resting on a leaf beside a lake.
 
 
The hot, dry fly who said to no one in particular, "Gosh...if I go down
 
three inches I will feel the mist from the water and I will be refreshed."
 
 
There was a fish in the water thinking, "Gosh...if that fly goes down three
 
inches, I can eat him."
 
 
There was a bear on the shore thinking, "Gosh...if that fly goes down three
 
inches that fish will jump for the fly...and I will grab the fish!!"
 
 
It also happened that a hunter was farther up the bank of the lake
 
preparing
 
to eat a cheese sandwich....
 
 
"Gosh," he thought, "if that fly goes down three inches...and that fish
 
leaps for it...that bear will expose himself and grab for the fish. I'll
 
shoot the bear and have a proper lunch."
 
 
Now, you probably think this is enough activity on one bank of a lake, but
 
I
 
can tell you there's more....
 
A wee mouse by the hunter's foot was thinking, "Gosh, if that fly goes down
 
three inches...and that fish jumps for that fly.. and that bear grabs for
 
that fish...the dumb hunter will shoot the bear and drop his cheese
 
sandwich."
 
 
A cat lurking in the bushes took in this scene and thought, (as was
 
fashionable to do on the banks of this particular lake around lunch time).
 
"Gosh...if that fly goes down three inches...and that fish jumps for that
 
fly .. and that bear grabs for that fish and that hunter shoots that
 
bear...and that mouse makes off with the cheese sandwich ... Then I can
 
have
 
mouse for lunch."
 
 
The poor fly is finally so hot and so dry that he heads down for the
 
cooling
 
mist of the water.
 
 
The fish swallows the fly... The bear grabs the fish..
 
 
The hunter shoots the bear..
 
 
The mouse grabs the cheese sandwich...
 
 
The cat jumps for the mouse..
 
 
The mouse ducks...The cat falls into the water and drowns.
 
 
 
 
The moral of the story is:
 
 
Whenever a fly goes down three inches, some pussy is in serious danger. |
