The Sad Account of the Imaginary Moo
by Ogden
The Sad Account Of The Imaginary Moose
Somewhere there is a sticker who thought it was a moose.
The moose is an imposing and esteemed animal, so it’s understandable that the sticker was distraught when the buffalo (not nearly as respected a beast, and long accepting of the fact that it only is a neighboring sticker on an RV) happened to tell him he was no moose (I know it was a lot of words to put between parentheses in the middle of a sentence, but it reads funny to me). Now back to the story.
I found it touching that Jeff - (that’s what the buffalo sticker calls its sidekick) - for fifteen years, had taken pride in moosehood, and lost it in only a few seconds. Jeff, believe it or not, doesn’t know what a sticker even is.
Well, at least, try to be empathic. Picture this, and think how you would feel if - you believed all of your life that you were an exalted human being, but then suddenly found out you really were a squirrel. (And you learned it, like Jeff, after a revelation that Geico sells RV insurance!)
