Fable
by Ryan Toronto
One day a bear named Conner and a lion named Ryan found a brand new den. To celebrate their new home, they decided to go to the local watering hole to booze it up.
Upon entering the vicinity, an old drunk owl waved them over. "You two lads look like you could use a drink!" he hooted to them.
Since the two friends were broke after their purchase, they accepted the old owl's offer. The three had a great time--the two because their drinks were free, and the owl because he was drunk. Soon they were all laughing, completely plastered.
"Say, it's nice to see two young'uns trying out interspecies relationships. You kids today are great." The owl grinned in a friendly manner.
Con fell over in his chair laughing, but Ryan leapt up. "I do not like bears!" he shouted, pouncing on the owl viciously. He pinned the bird to the ground but rolled on, laughing as well.
The next day they were on the run, after finding out not only had Ryan killed the owl, but the owl was renowned politician Virgil Ardissoni.
The moral of this story is never get drunk among strangers.
