"The Banana Ran Down the Street Shouting Psalms‚" And So On.

The banana ran down the street shouting psalms. The apple in his proud blue suit stepped out to intercept, fumbling for his shiny badge. But the banana had already peeled on out of there. Farmer Psychoses, observing the scene, reflected silently upon the need for a stricter enforcement. But as the bible once said of a similar topic: a man had two servants. One of them, he paid handsomely in 50 shiny sheckels. The other, he had stripped to the waist and publicly whipped. For who shall question the master of the house? Likewise, go and do the same.

A passing Reverend Plum objected to a small detail in the narrative, but chose to keep it to himself in favor of fleeing from the approaching lions. But he needn't have bothered; these lions were only interested in the cultural attractions. Said Lion Alpha to his two subordinates: "I'll let you two choose the movie this time." Observed Lion Beta in a stage-whispered growl: "he's only saying that because none of us can read English." Luckily, Hetty the Helpful Lionness at the ticket window was able to translate the titles of today's Films Now Showing, and our three lions went in to enjoy a documentary feature on the Whales of Many Nations.
