The Neverending Story

Once upon a time there was a man.
He had a dream. In his dream he saw big
cities with towering bridges and big roads.
The people were well dressed and happy.

But then the man awoke. It was but a dream.

He remembered Robert F. Kennedy's words,

"Some men see things as they are and ask
why, some men dream dreams that never were
and ask, why not?."

So the man asked, "why not?" and rose out of
bed.

He had some porridge and toast.

As he sat at his table, a duck waddled into
the kitchen.

"Good morning," said the duck.

The man sat there speechless.

"Let me think," said the duck, "what are the French words
for good morning. This fellow may not speak English."

"Good morning," the man finally spoke.

"Ah, you speak English after all," the duck quacked
with great pleasure.

"How is it that a duck should talk?" the man asked.

"And why shouldn't a duck talk?" the duck inquired.

"They just don't," the man replied.

The duck asked, "Why not?".

To be continued.
