THE CAT GETS WET

One day, a fish was swimming about 1 foot below the surface of a lake and saw a fly flying just out of striking distance. The fish said to itself, “If that fly should come six inches closer, I’ll jump up and have myself a juicy meal.” Just then, a bear on the shore of the lake looked up and said to itself, ” if that fly gets any closer to that fish, the fish will jump up, and i’ll catch the fish and have myself a wonderful meal.” As fate would have it, an hunter saw what was happening. He thought to himself, “If that fly moves closer to the fish, the fish will jump, the bear will lean over to grab the fish, and i’ll shoot the bear.” Just then, a rat standing behind the hunter said to itself,” if that fly moves closer to the fish, the fish will jump, the bear will lean over to grab the fish, the hunter will lean over to shoot the bear, and I'll grab the bread from the back pocket of the hunter. However, unknown to the rat, a cat was observing everything and thinking, “If that fly moves closer to the fish, the fish will jump, the bear will grab the fish, the hunter will shoot the bear, the rat will grab the sandwich, and I'll snatch the rat.” At that very moment, the fly dropped a few inches, the fish grabbed the fly, the bear grabbed the fish, the hunter shot the bear, the rat grabbed the bread, the cat jumped, missed the rat and landed in the lake.

The moral of this story is: If the fly drops six inches the cat will get wet.
