A Happy Story - About a family of horsies...
(Obviously, not by me, but it's nice and I thought I'd share!)*

Once upon a time there was a family of horsies. A daddy horse, a mommy
horse, and a little baby horsie.

After a long day of work, daddy horse came home tired and hungry. Mommy
horse also had a long tiring day of work. Baby horse was tired too. He had
a lot of work to do at horsie school.

Life was hard for the horsie family. Daddy horse had to pull a plow all
day, Mommy horse had to pull a horse buggy all day, and baby horsie had
stupid people trying to jump on top of him and ride him around.

All this hard work was taking a toll on the horsie family. Daddy horse was
losing his once shinny and think mane. Mommy horse’s hooves were becoming
cracked and worn. Her milk production was also dropping. And Baby horsie
had an uncontrollable urge to lick objects in his general environment. The
horsie family wasn’t in good shape at all.

One weekend the horsie family were all out for a gallop in the field when
baby horsie found 3 big square blocks all lined up one after the other.
Each block was a different colour blue, white, and red.

Because baby horsie had an uncontrollable urge to lick everything he saw, he
thought to himself.

“Why not? They all look so yummy and lickable.”

So he went ahead and licked the first blue bock.

“MMMMM, this block is filled with salty goodness and vitamins.” Said baby
horsie.

Mommy horse went ahead and licked the middle white block.

“Yummy!!!! This block’s pure saltiness is making me feel so happy. It’s so
flavorful and refreshing.” Said Mommy horse.

After seeing how baby horsie and Mommy horsie reacted to licking the blue
and white blocks, Daddy horse licked the last red block without any
hesitation.

“WOW, the salt and vitamin flavours complement each other so well.” Said
Daddy horse.

Daddy horse, Mommy horse and baby horsie then proceeded to lick each block
switching back and forth from blue, to white, then to red. Each lick made
them feel better and better.

From that day forth every weekend Daddy, Mommy, and baby horsie went to the
same spot and found 3 new blocks and licked away to their hearts content.

Their horsie lives forever changed that faithful day baby horsie found those
3 salty blocks. Daddy horse’s mane grew long and shiny. The cracks in
Mommy horses hooves disappeared and her milk production grew exponentially.
Baby horsie no longer licked random objects. He only licked the 3 wonderful
blocks of salt.

All their problems were solved. The horsie family lived a long problem
free, super happy life.

THE END
