> > A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to
the

> > "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.
> > "They're packed with nutrients."
> > The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him

> > The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
> > Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of
the

> > Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the

a

began

> > The morals of this story are:
