All of us get shaken up one time or another. This is a little story that a wise old fart told to two sisters one day. I hope you enjoy it. How the Fat Old Goat ate the Sky Chicken Little and Ducky Wucky were playing in the Bright Sandbox one morning, and Chicken Little felt something HOT smack her head. It HURT. So Chicken Little said to Ducky Wucky, "Something hit my head." And Ducky Wucky said, "Maybe something did hit your head. What do you think it was?" And Chicken Little scratched around in the sandbox, didn't SEE anything that might have hit her head, thought to herself a bit, and explained: "Why, the SKY must be falling!" "We need to tell the Old Fart Goat"
Ducky Wucky laughed a bit, but since this was her sister, and Ducky Wucky wasn't Too Sure after all that the SKY wasn't indeed falling, she decided to agree to go and tell the Old Fart Goat.
So chicken little and Ducky Wucky ran all the way to the big Bad Barn, where the Old Fart Goat was snoozing away, this being his favorite past-time (after eating Pastrami). The Two sisters came in the barn So Fast, that they sprayed sand all over the Old Fart Goat's stomach, which was very big and fat indeed.
"The SKY is Falling," screeched Chicken Little, screeching being all she could muster after that long run to the Big Bad Barn. "I do believe part of IT hit me in the head! What should we do!!?"
The Old Fart Goat, yawned a bit, burped a bit, stretched a bit, and opened one Eye. "What part of the SKY hit you, Mz Little?"
"Why, I don't really KNOW, Mr Goat," stammered Chicken Little. "But, But, SOMETHING real Hot did hit me! So what are we gonna Do," Chicken Little pleaded. "yeah, what are we gonna DO," Ducky Wucky said, slightly out of breath herself, and smiling slightly, but STILL not altogether sure what had happened.
The Old Fat Goat closed his one Open Eye, and opened his Other Eye, burped again, and drawled, "don't know about You two young 'uns, but I'm a gonna mosey on down to that sandbox, and see if'in I can EAT that thing that hit ya. If it's HOT, it might be Pastrami." - Kellog Bluff Mr. Old Fart Goat... thru the times i've known you you've taught me so many things in so many ways. This story reflects the way you teach, you dont stand over me, you dont tell me whats wrong or right... you just rest with one eye opened and wait for me go get all fired up about something happening in the sand box and come skreetching on over. Thanks for being 'round the corner in the barn. - Mz.T
