Looking for Food
A vampire bat came
flapping in from the
night covered in fresh
blood and parked
himself on the roof of
the cave to get some
sleep.
Pretty soon all the
other bats smelled the
blood and began
hassling him about
where he got it. He
told them to go away
and let him get some
sleep. However, the
bats 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 tiredly, "Because
I didn't!"
