Siamese fighting fish
If you
give a fighting fish a pellet he will want to rest. If he rests
he�ll fall asleep. Then, when he wakes up he�ll want to play. If
he wants to play he�ll want a toy. If he wants a toy he�ll want
you to play with him. If you play with him he�ll want a camera
to take pictures. When you give him the camera he�ll want some
film. When he gets the film he�ll ask you to take a picture of
him. Then he will want a pet. If he wants a pet he�ll want food
for it. He�ll want a dog. He�ll ask for a pellet. After that
he�ll want to rest. And the chances are he�ll fall asleep.
IF YOU GIVE A
RABBIT A CARROT
If you give
rabbit a carrot, then she�ll probably want a drink. The water
will probably remind her of the ocean, so she�ll probably want
to go for a swim. The ocean will probably remind her that she
has to go to the bathroom. The line at the bathroom might remind
her to meet her friend at the mall. The building will probably
remind her of her home. Her home will remind her of her toys.
She�ll want to play and chances are she�ll get hungry and want a
carrot and then��..She�ll want a drink.
