A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood.
Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began asking
him about where he got it.
He told them to leave him alone and let him get some sleep,
but they persisted until finally he gave in.
“OK, follow me,” he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of
bats behind him.
Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a forest
full of trees.
Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around
him.
“Now, do you see that tree over there?” he asked.
“Yes, yes, yes!” the bats all screamed in a hungry frenzy.
“Good,” said the first bat, “Because I DIDN’T!”
