Once upon a time
Somewhere in the ocean somewhere
There lived a fish
The king of the fish

The king of the fish was not happy
He wanted to be more than just to be the king of the fish
He wanted to be king of the whole ocean

He wanted power over the whales and porpoises
Giant sea tortoises
Mollusks, crustaceans, and all the underwater plant life
And he wanted to own all the salt in the ocean

He was a big fat pig of a fish
His greed angered the ocean
But the ocean knew the fish would never succeed
Then the fish learned to walk on the land

He stood upon the shore and laughed at the ocean
He climbed trees and learned the secret of fire
He took a job as a investment banker
And spent a lot of time at the racetrack
Playing the ponies
The ocean swore revenge
Then one day
The fish was vacationing in the Caribbean
Sunbathing on the beach
Laughing at the ocean
A giant wave came and swallowed the little fish up
And he drowned

This is the fable of the fish that played the ponies
It is important to keep in mind that in this story
The fish is not meant to symbolize Christ
