THE FAKE COW AND THE COBRA
May 22, 2014
Made of leather, the fake cow found it hard to fake sincerity. So one day when her friend, the cobra, loomed up from the basket and said, “Are my eyes really, really scary?”, the fake cow knew the cobra was fishing for a compliment.
“Oh, yeah, really scary. I’m, like, totally scared,” answered the fake cow, not realizing how snotty and fake she sounded.
The cobra, lashed to fury, struck. The cow, however, being fake, suffered not the least little bit at all, and truth to tell, added to the cobra’s frustration by saying, “Oh, now I’m in for it. I guess I’m dead. I should lie down. Right? (yawn)”
Moral: When your best friend is a fake cow, twitching syndrome is always close at hand.
