Donkey Lettuce

[whimsical music] Once upon a time, a boy lived with his father in a small hut in the forest.

His father was a great hunter, and the boy always asked to join his father in his hunting.

But while the father was a great hunter, he may not have been the best father.

He always laughed at his son and said...

You're too small and puny.

You couldn't hit a sparrow with an arrow.

But the boy begged his father day and night to be allowed to go hunting, until at last his father was so fed up he gave the boy a small bow and a single arrow and said...

Don't come back until you've hit something.

He was certain he'd never see his son again.

He said to himself...

If he brings down even a sparrow, then I'm the richest man in the county.

It's not very nice, is it? No.

The boy wandered through the forest, afraid to try his bow lest he lose his only arrow and never be allowed to return home again.

He was nervous and ashamed.

After walking some time, he saw a pile of rags at the base of a tree.

As he approached, its smell worsened and worsened, like...

Okay, what's the worst-smelling thing you can think of? Dog poop.

Skunk.

Skunk? My sister's poop.

Your sister's poop? [laughing] Is your sister a baby? No.

Okay, that's even weirder.

She's in disguise.

The bathroom after my dad uses it.

The bathroom after [laughs] your dad uses it.

The pile of rags smelled awful, like the bathroom after your dad uses it.
