"The Talking Rock"
Yesterday I was walking along the beach when I tripped over a rock that could talk. I picked up the talking rock and said, "Hey! Are you a talking rock?"
The talking rock said, "Yes, I am a talking rock."
I asked the talking rock, "Why didn't you tell me to avoid you?"
The talking rock replied, "Because I'm a mean talking rock."
The talking rock's words made me angry, so I threw it into the ocean. I never saw the talking rock again.
