"FLAT", THE FLY--CAT

Some people sometimes wish they were someone else.  They believe the others are cuter, richer or happier. Let me tell you a story.

One day, a fly was watching a cat eat cat food.  It thought, "Maybe if I ate cat food, I could become a cat".  People were always swatting flies.  It thought climbing trees and chasing mice, birds and squirrels would be fun.

Guess what!  The fly ate the cat food and became a cat!  Well, not really a cat but a fly-cat, or "flat" for short.

At first, the fly-cat or "flat" did have fun. Chasing birds mice and squirrels was fun.  But one day, dogs started chasing the flat.  When it ran through some one's yard, they threw water at it.  That was as bad as being swatted at.

The flat had had enough!  It's always better to just be yourself and not try to be someone else.  It isn't always as good as it seems. It wished to go back to being a fly.

Do you want to know how the flat turned back into a fly?  Well, he didn't.  Even when he thought he was a cat, inside he was still just the same old fly.  It's hard to be something you are not.
