"A Lesson"
Mr. Rabbit was walking down the road when
he spotted a crow at the tip top of a very tall tree.
He shouted, "Good Morning, Mr. Crow."
Mr. Crow shouted back down, "Good Morning Mr.
Rabbit." Mr. Rabbit shouted up, "Whatcha doin'
today?" and the answer shouted back down was,
"Absolutely nothin' Mr. Rabbit - Absolutely nothin'
and loving it."
Well, that sounded pretty good to Mr. Rabbit, so he
shouted back up, "Do you think I could do that too?"
Mr. Crow shouted back down, "I don't see why not!"
So, Mr. Rabbit lay down on the side of the road and
began Doing Absolutely Nothing.
In 30 minutes a fox came along and ate him.
The moral of the story is: You can get away with Doing
Absolutely Nothing, but only if you are really high up.
