Could someone tell me a bedtime story?
Preferrably a "feel good" story where the good guys win and the villain gets caught, or perhaps something involving farm animals. You choose.

7. well there was this island with a hundred monkeys on it
and all they had to eat was sweet potatoes. One day a smart monkey went to the beach and laid out all the potatoes to form a message: "please send us some different food". After a week or so, a plane flew over and out dropped a parachute parcel. The smart monkey went over and opened it up to find it contained a letter from Dan Quayle. "Dear monkeys of the island potatoe: I am currently unable to send you anything to eat, but all the monkeys here in washington wondered if you have room for a special chimp. If this is acceptable, please spell it out on your beach. Thanks, DQ" The smart monkey consulted with all the other monkeys, and after some deliberation, decided against accepting the special washington monkey. Instantaneously, a message appeared on all the other monkey islands in the world: "Do not send that special washington chimp here. In fact, we are contacting the UN to verify that the special washington monkey does not gain access to our islands. Also, if there were any plans to sneak that monkey onto our islands, we will eat him. Thank you." The end.

10. One day a guy was walking through the forest
Edited on Sun Jul-18-04 11:32 PM by Yupster
when he saw a big hole.

He looked down to try to see the bottom, but couldn't, so he tossed a rock into the hole and listened for the bottom.

Never heard it hit, so he found a pretty big rock and pushed it in and listened. Still no sound.

Perplexed, he saw an old picnic table. He pushed the table into the hole and leaned down to listen.

Just then, a wild eyed donkey came tearing through the bushes, jumped right over him, right into the hole and was gone.

The guy just sat there dumbfounded until a farmer came along.

"Hey partner, have you seen my donkey anywhere?" asked the farmer.

The man said "it was the damndest thing. I was just sitting here and this crazed donkey ran right by me and jumped right down this hole."

The farmer stroked his beard and said, "nah, couldn't have been my donkey. He was tied to a picnic table."

13. I like that one, but can we change the donkey to an elephant?

I guess we'll have to modify things a little, but it's a better visual for me.

(Yawn, stretch)
