A Fool's fable

A fable

Once upon a time there was a man fool.


He was an out of work salesman (shame) because in ‘real’ life he could not hack it.

So - at some stage he visited a far off country and became an assistant in some circus. I kid you not!

When it was time to go home he did not want to, but he could not qualify in order to remain in the Far-off country.

So he and friends dreamed up a pretty original scheme. For that you have to give him credit.

The story would be:-

He is an abused crime victim who suffered many, many attacks from aliens who inhabited his homeland, and on the strength of this (also fable) he applied for refugee status. The fact that there was no proof of attack is incidental. Crop circles are there for all to see! Aliens come to earth and they have babies! I can even prove this to you! I hope you are gullible though! You will make it some easier for me!

In the Far- off country an official, never been to fool’s homeland, believed his story and granted him asylum! He really thought Fool would stick out like a sore thumb.

And this then became headlines everywhere on the little planet!

And lots and lots of people swallowed story, only because people believe what they want to believe. Nobody questioned the Fool, they just ran with the political implication. And seem to have some fun. And fool's ex wife who he married to stay and then betrayed was very, very angry.

The moral of the story:

And this is where the danger lies - Anybody with a real cause will now be scrutinized and probably sent back to Homeland to be hacked to death.
