Antsy

Antsy the Moose

This is the story of Antsy. He may sound like an ant but in fact he is a moose. Not the organizational type, he prefers to walk around, eat and watch the world go by none too ambitious perhaps relative to his size. What does Antsy want you may wonder? Just to hang out and have goofy eyed people wonder at his size and antlers? Perhaps...most people are afraid but he really is no meanie. Most folk just leave him be. The one thing to watch out for is cars and trucks.

One day Antsy was at the park eating some grass minding his own business when a bicyclist on the bikeway crashed into a tree cause he couldn't keep his eyes off Antsy and forgot to watch the road. Bang into the tree. Antsy looked up bored with human behavior. Why do folks think I am so alarming? They should be more alarmed at their dumb ways Antsy thought.

Now the bicyclist was standing up and checking himself out for injuries which were none and to his bike Antsy couldn't tell. But the rider was starting to curse at him and calling him all sorts of names. Yes, he was angry and blamed Antsy for everything. The usual foolishness of humans, Antsy thought. Can't accept responsibility for their actions......so blame the big old moose.

Antsy went back to eating and the bike rider went on cursing as he got on his bike and rode away. The moral of the story: watch where you're going!
