Make Your Own Fable

So this is funny picture number 2, but this time, I'll invite you, the reader, to make up the back story. A short short story or a fable, or whatever.

Do you want some thing obvious, or ridiculous?

It's the one of the last frames of a public announcement shown in public schools in the animal world on the dangers of trying the stunts shown on "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" at home. The last frame, of course, is this little guy being hit by a semi.
Learning is fun!

Before I can finish my story, I need to know, is the turtle backwards on the skateboard? or am I that ignorant about skateboarding?

LL. again with the morbid! You have some serious issues, I'm begining to believe. I think we've finally found the premise for your blog: a young optomistic white girl's fascination with death. It can be called "Effervescent about Death", because, after all, you are quite bubbly.

Once upon a time there was a tortise who had a hair on his nose. Tortoise was very happy with the fact that he was the only reptile he knew that had even one strand of hair. You might even say Tortoise was proud of his hair. Tortoise’s friends Iguana and Gila were very sick and tired of hearing about Tortoise’s hair.

One day, Iguana and Gila were talking about Tortoise’s Achilles heal, and trying to decide if they should approach him to talk about the follicular problem. Because Tortoise was a typically slow fellow, they assumed that he would never be able to sneak up on their conversation. Unfortunately, his tortoise shell had camouflage-like qualities and he was able to approach under the cover of the juniper brush.

Tortoise was crushed. "What!" He thought. "They don't love my hair?" He was so confused and emotional that he stumbled from the juniper which startled Iguana and Gila so much they dropped their tails and ran away. Tortoise was so shocked at that this development that he stumbled backwards onto a skateboard. This momentum carried him down a grassy knoll and towards oncoming traffic. Where he became inspiration for "one of the last frames of a public announcement shown in public schools in the animal world on the dangers of trying the stunts shown on 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' at home."

Brava, ams, brava. I learned something from this. Just because I have a distinctive facial feature, others may think I'm a freak. And they may well be right. Moral of the story: don't be a freak and proud about it.

Oh Briam, don't feel badly. We don't think your distinctive facial feature makes you look like a freak.
