At The Shore

There were once two Shoreline crabs.

Crabby “A” had two big claws.

Crabby “B” had one small and one big claw.

One day, they both crawled out of from their homes underneath the big rock from the ocean shoreline to find food for the day.

Crabby “A” and Crabby “B” both spotted a tiny dead shrimp and bickered over who found it first.

Crabby “A” : Hey! I spotted that shrimp first!

Crabby “B”: I spotted that shrimp first, so I get to eat it! Ha, ha, ha…

They both fought vigorously with their claws raised up high and ended in a deadlock until they fell on their backs.

Suddenly a loud and fast gush of wave submerged both under water and drowned them for a moment.

By the time they waves were gone, so were their food.

They both squinted their tiny eyes and glared at each other for a moment and was sad that their food got washed away.

Moral lesson:

If only you have the kindness to share and not waste time fighting and bickering, both parties will benefit instead of suffering a total loss.

It’s a Bird’s Life

“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”

I am singing a sweet melody to call for a mate, so I could procreate.

“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”

I have to communicate with my clan of species that food is here.

“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”

I am so happy that I found a worm for my meal.

“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”

I want to spread my wings and soar to the open skies!

“Chirp, chirp and chirp.”

I am so happy that Spring is coming!

He Said, She Said

Death Industry:

The thought of dying due to illness or tragic accidents are never positive in our minds. Death is imminent for humans, either we like it or not. Sometimes we could escape death based on life saving situations but luck runs out.

Our final resting place or after life is what most people plan for. For some folks that have a bit of extra money in the bank, will purchase a resting place for themselves and for the future generations to come. Land and location of a cemetery would come to mind.

Scenario #1:

Buyer: “Please tell me what I need to do to have a beautiful resting spot in this cemetery?”

Salesperson: “Well, our cemetery are just like all other cemetery around the country, it has this PPD system.

Buyer: “Could you explain to me, what that means?”

Salesperson: “Pick the spot, pay for the spot and then die. This system has been around hundreds of years. It is foul proof.”

Moral lesson: You must pay for a beautiful final destination. All beautiful destinations come with a hefty price tag.

He Said, She Said

Religion:

Scenario #1:

There was once a very dedicated sheep herder that loved his sheep. His sheep was like family to him. Every day, he leads them to green wild pasture to graze on. Until one day, the land on one side of the river became dry and barren with no green vegetation. He decided to herd them over to the other side, but convincing his sheep would be a challenge. He had faith in God, but God is in Heaven and won’t answer his prayer immediately.

Shepard: “My fellow brothers and sisters; do you see the green pasture on the other side of the river? That is Heaven! Do you want to go to Heaven?”

Sheep: “Yes, we want to go! Tell us how!”

Shepard: “Well, you must cross the river, die and be reborn again! Your soul will then be lifted up to Heaven and then you will meet God. Please say, “Baaabaaa” if you agree.”

Moral lesson: Depends how religious you are, faith is the key.
