>           A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
>
>           A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like
>you
>         and do nothing all day long?"
>
>           The crow answered: "Sure, why not."
>
>           So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
>
>           All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate
it.

>           A turkey was chatting with a bull.
>
>           "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed
>the
>           turkey, "but I haven't got the energy.
>
>           "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 enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
>
>           The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second
>         branch.
>
>           Finally, after a forth night, there he was proudly perched at
>the top
>
>         of the tree.
>
>           Soon he was spotted by a farmer who shot the turkey out of the
>tree.

>           Lesson Number Three
>
>           When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss.
>
>           The brain said, "I should be Boss because I control the whole
>body's
>           responses and functions."
>
>           The feet said, " We should be Boss as we carry the brain about
>and
>         get him to where he wants to go."
>
>           The hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do all the
>work and
>         earn all the money, "
>
>           And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs and the eyes
>until
>           finally the asshole spoke up.
>
>           All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss.
>
>           So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to
>         work.
>
>           Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched,
>the
>         feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain
>fevered.
>
>           Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss,
>so
>         the motion was passed.
>
>           All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and
>         passed out the shit!
>
>           Management Lesson:
>           You don't need brains to be a Boss - any asshole will do.

>           Lesson Number Four
>
>           A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold,
>the
>         Bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field.
>
>           While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on
>it.
>
>           As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began
to
>         realize how warm it was.
>
>           The dung was actually thawing him out!
>
>           He lay there all warm and happy and soon began to sing for joy.
>
>           A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
>
>           Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile
>of
>         cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
>
>           Management Lessons:
>           1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
>           2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
>           3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!
