The turn the "the HORROR of it all" forum got me thinkin.....too bad for
you.
Fables. Short and consisively to the point stories that have just stuck
with you.
What are your favorite ones?
My number one all time favorite fable I got off the top of a Fantastic
Foods Minestrone instant soup cup. It's called 1,000 seahorses.
One gray morning a young boy was walking along the shore, when he noticed
to his horror that with each crash of the tide, hundreds of seahorses were
being cast to the shore. They struggled on the sandy beach, gasping for
breath, and the distraught boy began frantically scooping up handfulls of
seahorses and casting them back into the sea. Unfortunately with every
handful he threw back, hundreds more were washed ashore. An old man
watching this approached the scurrying boy and said:
"Son, it's useless, it doesn't make a difference"
To which the boy replied:
"To that one seahorse it does"
I adore seahorses (hence the big fat seahorse tattoo over my whole upper
arm) and I was DELIGHTED when I read this, and still have the paper lid
with the story on it.
Okay, I did it, now you share too! |

Once upon a time there lived a fat king and queen who lived in a white
palace and had two pet mice that were the most beautiful little animals
anyone had ever seen. And each day the people of the kingdom had to
prepare a banquet for the two mice. They made every dish that was known in
that part of the world and every day they would cook enough food to cover
the top of a 100 foot long dining table with food on which the mice were
placed and ate until they could eat no more. The rest of the food was
thrown-out as compost.
But the people of the kingdom were living in extreme poverty and the king
and queen were terrible tyrants. So finally the people broke into the
palace and threw the mice into the king and queen's mouths and sewed their
mouths shut.
The end. |

That was... interesting!
It's kinda corny but I have had this story in my head for a while now.
A mom was out shopping with her son who was incredibly outspoken. He didn't
have a clue what tact was. When he saw a fat lady he said very loudly "Look
how fat she is mommy!" When he saw an old, wrinkled man he said, just as
loudly "Mommy, why is that man so ugly?"
Anyhow, they're shopping in this one particular toy store when a young boy
came into the store with his parents. He was in a wheelchair and was
evidently mentally handicapped. The outspoken boy's mother winced when he
opened his mouth and tried to drag him away, but he said, loud enough for
the store to hear; "Look mommy! That boy has the same hat as me!" ____________________ Do not fear death so much, but rather the inadequate life. |
