Once upon a time
Somewhere in the ocean somewhere
There lived a Fish
The King of the Fish.
THe King of the Fish was not happy.
He wanted to be more
than just the King of the Fish.
He wanted to be King of the whole Ocean.
He wanted power over the whales
and porpoises,
Giant sea tortoises,
Mollusks, crustaceans
And all the underwater plant life.
And he wanted to own
all the Salt in the Ocean.
He was a big fat pig of a Fish.
His greed angered the Ocean,
But the ocean knew
the Fish would never succeed.
Then the Fish learned to walk on the land.
He stood upon the shore and laughed at the ocean.
He climbed trees
and learned the secret ofo fire.
He took a job as an investment banker,
And spent a lot of time at the racetrack,
Playing the Ponies.
The ocean swore revenge.
Then one day,
The Fish was vacationing in the Carribean
Sunbathing on the beach
Laughing at the ocean.
A giant wave came and
swallowed the little Fish up
And he drowned.
This is the fable of
the Fish that Played the Ponies.
It is important to keep in mind
that in this story
The Fish is not meant to symbolize Christ.
