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 e 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 ***** is
in serious danger
