/ A MODERN FABLE \
| |
| Aesop's fables and other traditional |
| children's stories involve allegory far |
| too subtle for the youth of today. |
| Children need an updated message with |
| contemporary circumstance and plot |
| line, and short enough to suit today's |
| minute attention span. |
| |
| The Troubled Aardvark |
| |
| Once upon a time, there was an aardvark |
| whose only pleasure in life was driving |
| from his suburban bungalow to his job |
| at a large brokerage house in his brand |
| new 4x4. He hated his manipulative |
| boss, his conniving and unethical |
| co-workers, his greedy wife, and his |
| snivelling, spoiled children. One day, |
| the aardvark reflected on the meaning |
| of his life and his career and on the |
| unchecked, catastrophic decline of his |
| nation, its pathetic excuse for |
| leadership, and the complete |
| ineffectiveness of any personal effort |
| he could make to change the status quo. |
| Overcome by a wave of utter depression |
| and self-doubt, he decided to take the |
| only course of action that would bring |
| him greater comfort and happiness: he |
| drove to the mall and bought imported |
| consumer electronics goods. |
| |
| MORAL OF THE STORY: Invest in foreign |
| consumer electronics manufacturers. |
