Fleas Who Deny Dogs Exist

I need no dog, the arrogant, annoying flea biter said. He promptly did a summersault on his sweet head. Well don’t look at me, said the old man flea Lee. I am biting flesh right now, but no dog I see. The dog gave a yelp and scratched a hole in his back. But he was not as quick as the flea known as Yak. Yak jumped out of the way, for he was a jumping flea. Haha! Yak yelled with a shout. No creature got me! Let’s go for the cat, the flea biter suggested. They don’t taste very appealing said Sue, who had nested. I think this is a giant, maybe a mollusk, or a squid. It cannot be a dog; he died. His name was Kid.
