The Monkey and the Camel
The beasts of the forest gave a splendid entertainment at which the Monkey stood up and danced. Having vastly delighted the assembly, he sat down amidst universal applause. The Camel, envious of the praises bestowed on the Monkey and desiring to divert to himself the favor of the guests, proposed to stand up in his turn and dance for their amusement. He moved about in so utterly ridiculous a manner that the Beasts, in a fit of indignation, set upon him with clubs and drove him out of the assembly.

It is absurd to ape our betters.

Letter to me

Hey its you when you were 17. Hopefully your not in jail and have a decent job and a hot wife with plentiful funds. Just so you know that its really me, I know how to tie a bunch of cool knots and I have a birth mark on the inside of my right leg. I plan on going to college and finishing with a bachelors degree in animal science, you didn't screw that up did you? Maybe I invented something and your filthy rich, nothing against me but I doubt it, I hope your really good at leather work and building things with it by age 30 because I am pretty good now so, yaa I hope this all ends up working out for me.

Non Fiction story

Once upon a time around 1880, there were to cowboys from Texas, retired Texas rangers. Their names were "Guss" and "Woodrow" . They had a herd of cattle of about 700 head that they were moving from south texas to Montana so that they would have the first ranch there. They had lots of fights with indians and lost a few men along the way but they wrangled their horses and picked up some mexican horses along the way made their way to the Montana plains to build an outfit.

H1N1 Virus

Swine influenza is a flu virus usually found in pigs. The virus occasionally changes and becomes infectious in humans. When this happens, the disease becomes a concern to humans, who have little or no immunity against it. This means the virus has the potential to spread quickly around the world. It can be more difficult to treat than the usual, seasonal human flu viruses.
Most people who get the H1N1 flu will probably recover without needing medical care. Doctors, however, can prescribe antiviral medicine to treat people who become very sick with the flu or are at high risk for flu complications.
