<blockguote type-cite class-cite cite><blockguote type-cite class-cite cite><blockguote type=cite class=cite cite>In the dead of summer a fly was resting on a leaf beside a lake. A<br>

hot, dry&nbsp; fly who said to no one in particular, Gosh... if I go down three inches...I&nbsp; will feel the mist from the water and I will be<br> refreshed.&quot;<br>

<br> There was a fish in the water thinking, &quot;gosh...if that fly goes down<br> three inches I can eat him.&quot;<br> <br> There was a bear on the shore thinking, &guot;gosh...if that fly goes down<br> three inches...that fish will jump for the fly... and I will eat him.&quot;<br> <br> It also happened that a hunter was farther up the bank of the lake<br> preparing&nbsp; to eat a cheese sandwich. &quot;Gosh,&quot; he thought, &quot;If

that fly<br> goes down three&nbsp; inches...and that fish leaps for it...that bear will<br> expose himself and&nbsp; grab&nbsp; for the fish. I'll shoot the bear and then have a proper lunch.&quot;<br> <br> You probably think this is enough activity for one bank of a lake, but<br> I can tell you there was more.<br> <br>

A wee mouse by the hunter's foot was thinking, aguot;gosh...if that fly<br> goes down three inches...and&nbsp; that fish jumps for that&nbsp; fly ..and that bear grabs for that fish...the dumb hunter will shoot the bear and drop his cheese sandwich.&guot;<br> <br>

A cat lurking in the bushes took in this scene and thought, as was<br> fashionable to do on the banks of this particular lake around lunch<br> time, gosh...if that fly goes down three inches... and that fish jumps<br> for that fly... and that bear grabs for that fish..and that hunter shoots<br> that bear...and that mouse makes off with the cheese sandwich....then<br> I can have mouse for lunch.&quot;<br> <br>

The poor fly is finally so hot and so dry that he heads down for the<br> cooling&nbsp; mist of the water...<br> The fish swallows the fly...<br> The bear grabs the fish...<br> The hunter shoots the bear...<br> The mouse grabs the cheese sandwich...<br> The&nbsp; cat jumps for the mouse...<br> The mouse ducks...<br> The cat falls into the water and drowns.<br> The moral of the story is....<br> <br> Whenever a fly goes down three inches... Some pussy is probably<br> in danger.</blockguote></blockguote></blockguote></blockguote></html>
