Two Bearcats wandered, in ghastly heat, through the Sahara desert. Their direction; fixed. Their minds; focused. They were in route to uncover eternal wisdom... a mystery that would grant them their hearts desire. For five hundred days they walked... searching. Their padded little Bearcat paws were blistered from the scorching sun beaming down on their path marked in sand. Finally, in the 6th hour of the 500th day they reached their destination. Their eyes grew with anticipation as they gazed upon it... THE FLAMING SPHERE... (of which most Bearcats feared).
According to law, the SPHERE would grant them each one of their hearts desire. If the SPHERE saw no intention of ill will in the tiny
fur burroughed heart of the Bearcat, his desire would be granted along with a complimentary ball of yarn and jar of honey. If the SPHERE found the desire to be self seeking or dull; the bearcat would be sent away immediately to walk 500 days back home in a pool of water chased by a swarm of angry bees.
The Bearcat to the right asked for limitless wealth. He was, without hesitation, struck dead by lightning... nobody saw this coming. Especially because this was not the negotiating consequence for such a selfish request. The bearcat on the left asked for peace on earth, the answer to global warming, a bag of cat nip, and a picnic lunch (bears seem to like that). The SPHERE, pleased with the Bearcat, granted his hearts desire along with the complimentary ball of yarn and jar of honey.
So now I ask you, dear readers, to search your heart and ask yourself one question.....
..... which Bearcat are you?
