The Fable of The Beavers and The Skunks

There once was a small town in WI where Beavers congregated and said. "Let's work hard together to build a good school for our little one's that they may be even more productive than us. It was agreed and the Beavers worked hard and shared part of the fruits of their labor to build a Great School.






The little ones thrived in the new school, so much so that after their studies they worked together to start a marching band. The marching band was bold and proud so the called themselves "The Marching Tigers".Word of their marching band spread throughout the land, so much so that they were asked to play when a new President was inagurated. The Tigers were the pride of this small town and everyone was eager to support them. Years past and the Tigers grew up and went on to become workers and parents. They didn't seem to notice that the school was starting to need repair and there were more and more little ones that wanted to go there. They were too busy working to build bigger castles with hottubs and jacuzzis.
Some of the Tigers got together and said, "Our parents worked liked Beavers but pooled some of the friuts of their labors together, so that we could become Tigers and raise our own little ones in this land of plenty. We should be like our ancestors.
They agreed, and said YES, we need to build a new school.




But down the road, lived a coven of Skunks. They were newcomers to that town, and brought the wealth they plundered from a neighboring state with them and built even bigger castles and with bigger jacuzzis than those in Tiger Town.
The Skunks got bored with their jacuzzis and needed a new hobby. So they took up the little known sport of "School Board Harassment". They went to meetings and complained again and again that "You are stealing the fruits of our labor to teach the little ones." When that failed they chose one of their own to run for the school board, but he lost. Then they chose 2 (one with a bigger mouth and he lost). On their final attempt they chose the smartest among them and erected signs with rockets to plead their case. They even went to meetings dressed like clowns with with Duct tape over their mouths to make their point.
The towns-folk only thought them fools. Their last attempt to get on the board failed miserably. They lost to four other good citizens yet still claimed victory.
The Skunks said to themselves, "We will never win in this town." Let's go to
Tigerville and stink up their town. One skunk in Tiger town said "Yes come on down."

The skunks had great fun stinking up Tiger Town, they traveled there often
even though they had no little ones in those schools. They only wanted to spray their noxious odor and play their libertarian parlor game of "Let's harass the government schools". On one trip they even unknowingly shared cookies with undercover socialist blogger spy.
But that's another fable.
The Tigers got upset, and the Tiger that ran the local Tiger Messenger said.
Let's find the local Skunk who upsets our town with his secret identity blogging and run him out.
To encourage the other Tigers he even posted a bounty.
To this day, nobody knows how this fable ends but we still learn great lessons from it.








The moral of this fable is. If you smell skunks run them out of town by calling the
good people together and voting them out and stand up against their threats and
name calling. Write letters to the editor and make bumper stickers that say
Support Our Schools.

But if your town is the town they run to...........
Call the Orkin man.








The End.
