The Conference of Animals
Mr. William D. Vulture, went up to the podium, and asked “Who would like to be our first
speaker, for today’s meeting”. Someone, somewhere in the audience raised his hand and
said “I will”. Mr. V asked the person to state his name. The person went up to the podium
and looked at the audience, and said “I am Noble H. Wolf, and I would like to say we need to
cultivate more land, so we can build new houses, to build new stores and factories.”
Someone in the audience hissed “Don’t forget about the money, we NEED more money”.
Who are you said, Mr. Wolf. The person hissed back and said “I am Isaac A. Snake”. And
yes you are correct Mr. Snake we do need more money, but we need to approach this
delicately. Someone else in the audience snorted and said “We need more nuclear plants,
more oil, more bombs, and weapons to sell and buy. So we can keep things stable and
running, so we can protect ourselves from any threat that presents itself”. And who are you
said Mr. Wolf. The person stood up and said “I am Sir Thomas F. Pig the 3”, and sat back
down. As Mr. Wolf was about to speak, someone in the audience quickly stood up and
identified himself as, Mr. Michael P. Dove. He said “what about us that leaves in those places
where will we go when you start your constructions. What will happen to those who die from
the guns that you sell, and who do you need to protect yourselves from if you just set your
differences aside and get along?” Mr. Snake hissed “Thisssssss isssssss life it’sss what we
do”. Then someone else said “What about the humans, there in danger of becoming
endangered”. Mr. Wolf growled “what about them there just animals, and who are anyway”.
The person slowly stood UP and said “I am Adam H. Sheep, and are we not animals too”.
