Story Snippet

The Rat and the Elephant. A Rat, traveling on the highway, met a huge elephant, bearing his royalmaster and his suite, and also his favorite cat and dog, and parrot andmonkey. The great beast and his attendants were followed by an admiringcrowd, taking up all of the road. "What fools you are," said the Rat tothe people, "to make such a hubbub over an elephant. Is it his greatbulk that you so much admire? It can only frighten little boys andgirls, and I can do that as well. I am a beast; as well as he, and haveas many legs and ears and eyes. He has no right to take up all thehighway, which belongs as much to me as to him." At this moment, the catspied the rat, and, jumping to the ground, soon convinced him that hewas not an elephant. Because we are like the great in one respect we must not think we arelike them in all. From Aesop's Fables

Joke and Laugh

Two biologists are in the field following the tracks of a radio-collared grizzly bear. All of a sudden, the bear crashes out of the brush and heads right for them. They scramble up the nearest tree, but the bear starts climbing up the tree after them. The first biologist starts taking off his heavy leather hiking boots and pulls a pair of sleek running shoes from his back-pack. The second biologist gives him a puzzled look and says, "What in the world are you doing?" He replies, "I figure when the bear gets close to us, we'll jump down and make a run for it." The second guy says, "Are you crazy? We both know you can't outrun a full-grown grizzly bear." The first guy says, "I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you!"
