A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked
himself on the ceiling of the cave to get some sleep. Pretty soon all the other bats
smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he ot it. He told them to bug
off and let him get some sleep, but they persisted until he finally 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 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 frenzy.
“Good!” said the first bat, “Because I fucking didn’t!”
