Lesson Number One: > >A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small >rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and >do nothing all day long?" > >The crow answered: "Sure, why not." > >So, the Rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All >of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. > >Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be >sitting very, very high up. > >************************* > >Lesson Number Two: > >A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to >get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't >got the energy." > >"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied >the bull. > >"They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of >dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to >reach the first branch of the tree. > >The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second >branch. Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched >at the top of the tree. Soon, he was promptly spotted by a >farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree. > >Moral of the story: Bulls*it might get you to the top, but it >won't keep you there. > >************************* > >Lesson Number Three: > >A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, >the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it >was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As >the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to >realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! >He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. >A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. > >Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile >of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him! > >The morals of this story are: >1) Not everyone who drops s*it on you is your enemy. >2) Not everyone who gets you out of s*it is your friend. >3) And when you're in deep s*it, keep your mouth shut
