School For Animals • A Lesson on Alignment
There once was a school for animals.
They taught running, climbing, flying, and swimming.
The duck loved school and excelled in the swimming class. He did ok in the flying class but not so well in running and climbing.
To help the duck, they took him out of swimming class (since he already had that down pat) and gave him a more expansive running, climbing, and flying curriculum.
Eventually, the duck became a worse swimmer, an ok flyer, and a frustrated mediocre runner and climber.
The eagle enrolled and excelled at climbing and flying. He looked forward to school every day. The instructors were not pleased because he never climbed the way they told him to (although he always got to the top), so they took him out of flying class so he could focus on the proper way to climb. They also upped his running and swimming classes to make him well-rounded. The eagle eventually rebelled, climbed to the highest tree branch, and dropped out of school.
The turtle enrolled, but he wasn’t good at running, climbing, flying, or swimming. After ten sessions of therapy, the counselors decided they had figured out the problem: his shell. The shell was obviously holding him back, so they removed it, and he improved for a while until the horse stepped on him.
Turtle gone.
The rabbit loved running; he was the best in his class. He ran to school every day and even encouraged the school to start a jumping curriculum after school that he could teach, but they declined because, really…how useful is jumping? At any rate, the rabbit was removed from the running classes because the other student felt intimidated, and he was encouraged to work harder at climbing, flying, and swimming so he could improve. The other students felt much better about the rabbit now that they had a chance to be the better ones at running. The rabbit had a nervous breakdown.
The moral of the story?
This duck’s gonna swim.
The End.
