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…
In the dead of summer a fly was resting among leaves beside a
stream.
The hot, dry fly 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 river bank, 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 river 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.
NOW, The Moral Of The Story… Whenever a fly goes down three inches,
Some pussy’s gonna be in serious danger.
