Little Johnny was in class when the teacher started talking about the moral of a story she just read. She ask the class if they could tell a story and explain the moral. One by one the kids raised their hands and told short stories and then explained the moral. Little Johnny sat quietly as the teacher singled him out, “How about you Johnny, do you have a story that tells a moral?”
Little Johnny replied, “well yes mam, I sure do!”
Little Johnny started eagerly and this was his story.
See, mam, there was this fly and it was flying over a stream and it thought if I just dropped down six inches I could grab me a drink of that water. A trout saw the fly and thought to itself, if that fly drops 6 more inches, I could jump up and eat that fly. There was a bear standing on the bank who sees the fly and then sees the trout, the bears thinks to himself, if that fly drops six inches, the trout is going to jump to eat the fly and I’m going to grab that trout for dinner. A hunter in the woods notices the fly, sees the trout and realizes that if the fish jumps and the bear grabs the fish, the bear will be in the open enough to shoot. The hunter’s sneaky little cat is lurking behind him and notices that the hunter has a piece of beef jerky in his pocket and if he stands up to shoot the bear, the jerky will fall and he can pounce over and grab the jerky before the hunter realizes he dropped it.
The thirsty fly goes for it and drops six inches as the trout jumps from the water and swallows the fly. The bear leaps forward and grabs the trout as the hunter aims his gun and takes fire on the bear. The jerky falls from the hunters pocket and he notices immediately! The hunter bends to pick up the jerky as the cat pounces forward and actually jumps over the hunter, landing in the water.
The teacher laughs lightly and tells Johnny that even though it’s a quiet a “cause and effect” story, it doesn’t have an underlying moral. Little Johnny glares back and states firmly that it does in fact have a moral. What’s the moral then Johnny, please enlighten the class.
Little Johnny leans back and says, well, every time a fly drops 6 inches, a pussy is bound to get wet!
Silence
