THE HARE, THE FLY, AND OTHER LIVING CREATURES
Born 1978, M, from CONNECTICUT, United StatesTHE HARE, THE FLY AND OTHER LIVING CREATURES
Dedicated to Truth, Wisdom, and All Those Who Provide It
Patiently waiting, waiting patiently. The Hare and the Fly were having a staring match intently.
Who could hold out longer? This we would soon see.
“You’re gonna lose” said the Fly.
“No you’re wrong” said the Hare.
“I have eyes equivalent to more than you can count” said the Fly.
“But I have patience” said the Hare.
“Excellent” said the Fly.
“Should we move on” said the Hare.
“Only if I can catch a ride” said the Fly.
“But why” said the Hare.
“Because if I fly” said the Fly “I will move much faster than you. Unfortunately I can’t fly slow.”
“Oh said” the hare. “Hop on then.”
“You do the same” said the Fly.
“Excellent” said the Hare, and they were off on their adventure. To where they didn’t even know but they knew they were hungry so that was a start.
Miss Fortune was their next stop along the way, but not that type of misfortune.
“Hay” said the Fly.
“Yes” said the Hare.
“No…..hay” said the Fly, “there are horses and hay over there.”
“Well I’m afraid of horses” said the Hare.
“Well I love them” said the Fly, ”they always have good stuff to eat on them.”
“Oh lovely” said the Hare.
“Great” said the Fly, “Let’s head over there.”
“Perfect” said the Hare.
So they trotted over where, besides the horses they found Miss Fortune, a great beautifully big pink pig.
“Hi” said Miss Fortune.
“Hi” said the Hare and the Fly.
“I’m excited to see you” said Miss Fortune.
“Excellent” said the Fly “but why…..”
“Well I love to tell Fortunes” said the beautiful pink creature….
“And yours is a good one, I can tell.”
“Excellent” said the Hare “but where do we start.”
“On adventure” said Miss Fortune.
“Excellent” said the hare and the fly, so they were on their way.
Hare hopped.
Fly flew occasionally to make sure there was no danger ahead and as long as they were careful they were okay.
“Alright” said the Fly.
“Time to nap” said the hare.
“Yeah,” my wings are tired said the Fly.
“Well so is my tail which will make a very comfortable bed for you.”
“Thanks” said the fly….
“Goodnight” said the hare and they slept peacefully together and knew that tomorrow would be a great adventure.
Early in the morning Hare woke up to a startle…..
“A bear” he said.
“Yes” said the fly.
“Excellent” said the Hare “But be careful……I’m a little weary about bears.”
“Why” said the Fly.
“Because they are awfully hungry creatures”
“But so are we” said the Fly.
“true” said the Hare.
“Excellent” said the Fly.
So the fly flew ahead to the bear, unafraid and unabashed. See bears and flies have excellent relationships for flies always told bears where the good food was and as the bears ate the flies would clean the bears by eating their leftovers.
When Fly came back to Hare, Fly said “Bear told me where to eat.”
“Where” said Hare.
“Over there” said Fly.
And off they went, for eating well is the adventure of a lifetime.
“This is nice” said Hare.
“Company always is” said Fly.
“So is time together" said Hare.
“Time goes by” said Flay.
“That’s why being together is so important said Hare.
“As well as enjoying each other’s company always is” said Fly.
“Yes” said Hare.
“Yes” said Fly.
“But time can’t always be spent together” said Fly.
“Yes” said Hare “that’s why we have to enjoy the time we have.
“Excellent” said fly.
“Yes, excellent,” said Hare.
Off they went……
After some time walking and a period of silence Fly asked, “Did you ever argue with your family”
“Yes” said Hare
“Well that makes me sad and angry” said fly
“Why” said Hare.
“Because why should we argue”
“So we know each other’s opinions” said Hare “Expression is the only way we get to know each other’s opinions. Expression is the only way we get to know each other and when voices raise it is sometimes only to get a point across. We still love each other.”
“Excellent” said Fly
“Always” said the Hare.
“Advice is always good” said Fly.
“Not always said the hare.
“Why” said Fly.
“You have to know if they have your best intentions at heart.”
“Oh” said the Fly.
“Excellent” said the hare.
“So should we move on” said the fly.
“Maybe tomorrow. I’m tired” said the Hare.
“Can I ask you one more question” said Fly.
“Always” said Hare.
“Excellent” said the Fly.
“Do you smell french fries”
“Maybe tomorrow” said the Hare.
And they both knew they would always have an adventure tomorrow.”
“Goodnight” said Hare.
“Always” said Fly.
And they both slept soundly that night, Fly, Hare, and all the other living creatures.
