Animals: The Conclusion

Dick and Spot were despondent, ashamed, embarrassed, and thoroughly disgusted with themselves for the way they had treated Jane. Tying her to a tree as they had, was much too severe a punishment for her having stolen their stick. They returned to the scene of their irresponsible, demeaning, sexist, disgusting, reprehensible, chauvinistic behavior.

When they arrived at the tree they found Jane in reasonably good condition, considering she had been exposed to the elements for five days without nourishment. However, she was as might be expected, a little pissed.

They quickly released her from the tree, removed the nest of sparrows from her hair, and got the fire ants out of her socks and shoes. They then apologized profusely and promised to do her bidding until she felt they had done sufficient penance, which turned out to be quite a long time. Jane in turn agreed to not steal their stick again.

Eventually, the three of them once again became the best of friends. Spot resumed fetching the stick, and Jane shared equally in the stick throwing. These good times continued until puberty, which is another story, that will remain unwritten, I promise.


As for Hillary and Nancy, they fared quite well themselves. Once they became comfortable with sharing their somewhat cramped quarters at the bottom of the well, they became the closest of friends. The local villagers had adopted the custom of daily dropping fish heads and other delicacies down the well for nourishment and the village mayor, a man named Newt, had installed a television at the top of the well for their entertainment. The television was left on 24/7, but unfortunately could only receive the Fox News channel. The villagers extricated Hillary and Nancy when the local ground water became contaminated and began to kill all the vegetation in the area.

The last anyone heard from Hill and Nan, they were working on a cattle ranch in Crawford, Texas. A nice rancher named George and his wife Laura, had set them up with their own little bunkhouse, equipped with the one channel television they had requested, and they were enjoying life as never before.

So our story ends with all being happy and content, which is how life was meant to be in a free and liberal society.

And yes there is a moral to this story:

"Be careful what you publish on your web site if you wish to maintain harmony with those you care about."
Especially if your web site has only one follower.
