Once upon a time there was a flea named Sylvester. He lived on the back of a horse named Solomon. Solomon was the fastest horse in the state of Arkansas. Unfortunately, he was not faster than Johnson, the squirrel. Every time they raced, Johnson left poor Solomon in the dust.
Solomon decided he needed to get faster if he was to beat Johnson. He decided to get rid of anything that might slow him down.
"You have to leave," he told Sylvester.
"Awww, man," said Sylvester.
But Sylvester packed his bags and left.
The next day, Solomon and Johnson raced again. This time, Solomon was the winner--by the length of a flea nose.
The moral of the story? Get rid of your friends if you want to win a race with a squirrel.
