A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered
in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave
to get some sleep.
Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began
hassling him about where he got it. He told them to knock it
off and let him get some sleep but they persisted in hassling
him to no end until finally he gave in.
"OK!" he said with exasperation, "follow me," and he flew out
of the cave with hundreds of bats following close behind him.
Down through the valley they went, across the river and into the
deep forest.
Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly gathered
around him.
"Do you see that tree over there?" he asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy.
"Good," said the first bat, "Because I DIDN'T!"
