The chrysalis shimmered rainbow colors in the moonlight. It had been made by a caterpillar in the fall. All winter it had hung here. But now it was spring, and the chrysalis was about to open. The chrysalis was gently vibrating now as the tenant within awoke. A split appeared at one end. The split slowly widened, until the chrysalis broke apart.
Out came a middle-aged woman with her hair done up in curlers. She looked around, stomped out her cigarette, and walked to the edge of the road, where she extended her arm and stuck out her thumb.
Coming down the road was an enormous jumbo-jet. This was no road; this was a runway! The jet lifted off, screaming, right over her head. As the jet climbed higher and higher into the sky, the woman reached into her pocketbook and brought out a portable missile-launcher. She fired, and the missile homed in on the jet. As the jet disintegrated into a roaring fireball, she muttered, "That'll teach 'em for not pickin' me up!"
However, she did not notice the parachute drifting down. Attached to the parachute was a cow. Fortunately, the cow cushioned its fall by landing on top of the woman.
On the cow's back was a small granite garden-gnome wearing an enormous pair of sunglasses. Upon seeing he had landed his cow on top of a woman, he quickly engaged the reverse thrusters and sped off into outer space. However, he could not steer the cow because it kept jumping over the moon. Finally he landed on the moon and put the cow in neutral. As the cow munched on some green cheese, he reached into his vest and pulled out a map. He then led his cow over to a huge ballroom where hundreds of little people were dancing with all sorts of animals.
At one end of the ballroom was a huge pit full of pies. At midnight, a clock slowly chimed twelve times. As it did so, the dancers ran to the edge of the pit and all jumped in! Pie filling flew everywhere! The little people and animals swam back and forth in a sea of pie filling.
Suddenly, a giraffe stopped swimming, stuck its long neck out of the sea of pie filling, and said, "I'm tired of this! Every night we do the same thing! Can't we do something DIFFERENT for a change?"
The others pronounced the giraffe a heretic and sentenced it to be exiled to Bermuda. The giraffe sadly boarded the ship that was to take it to Bermuda.
