THE CLEVER LITTLE BOY AND THE NINJA
-Ioseph of Locksley, OL, OP, &c.
Once upon a Time, a Time or two ago, there was a Clever Little Boy
that was off in the Wide World, Seeking His Fortune.
As he was Seeking His Fortune, he passed thru many Places, and
Spots, and Locations, some of which were nicer than others, but none
contained his Fortune, so he kept on traveling.
One day, as he traveled on the Wide Road, he met a Ninja!
Ninjas are Professional Assassins, and very good at their Job; they
are definitely NOT something you want to meet on a Professional basis!
The Ninja jumped out in the Road, and flourished his Sword, and
said:
"Aha! I have you now!"
The Clever Little Boy looked at the Ninja, and asked, politely,
"What do you mean by that?"
He wondered, in passing, why the Ninja's mouth kept moving after he
stopped talking, but realized he must be from Japan.....
The Ninja lowered his sword and looked at the Clever Little Boy in
astonishment. ( They were actually someplace North of Cleveland, but never
mind!)
"What do I mean by that? What do I MEAN by that?" shouted the
Ninja, "I mean, quite simply, that I am going to assassinate you! I am the
Fearsome Ninja! I am the Dreaded Ninja! I am the Ninja of the Four Winds! I
am the Ninja of the Dark! I AM T H E NINJA!" And he flourished his Sword
with one hand, jumped 52 feet and turned a backflip, threw six shuriken
into a passing butterfly, and cut a strand of spiderweb in half, length-
wise, with his Sword.
"I don't think so..." said the Clever Little Boy.
"WHAT!" cried the Ninja, " I AM THE FEARSOME NINJA! I AM THE
DREADED NINJA! I AM THE NINJA OF THE FOUR WINDS! I AM THE NINJA OF THE
DARK! I A M T H E N I N J A !"
And he leaped straight up 63 feet, disappeared, reappeared behind a
tree, shot 17 arrows into a knothole the size of a dime, threw a Mysterious
Powder at a bird, which instantly knocked it unconcious, broke a large rock
in half with one karate chop, and did an 8th Dan Kata backwards, forwards
and sideways.
"No, I really don't think so," said the Clever Little Boy, " and
would you like to know why?"
"Not that it matters, Oh Good-As-Dead," said the Ninja, "but why do
you not think that I am going to kill you?"
"Because I know a Martial Art called Chik-Pau." said the Clever
Little Boy with a secret smile.
"Chik-Pau?" said the Ninja, "I have NEVER heard of Chik-Pau in all
my years of Ninja-ing! You are a VERY foolish little boy, to try to fool
the Fearsome Ninja, the Dreaded Ninja..."
And the Clever Little Boy pulled out his Gen-yew-ine Wheel Lock
Pistol, and wound it with a 'Chik' sound.
"...The Ninja of the Four Winds!" continued the Ninja, " The Ninja
of the Dark! The Most Terrible Nin..."
POW! went the Gen-yew-ine Wheel Lock Pistol!
FLOP! went the Ninja!
"Oh well, Oh Most Talkative and Loudmouthed Ninja...." said the
Clever Little Boy, "That's the way Chik-Pau works! Clever, these Occidentals!"
And he went on down the Wide Road, smiling at the flowers.
Moral: Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder.
