The Seeker and the Sought

A politician, eyeing a plump turkey he desired for dinner, decided to devise a clever plan. He baited a hook with a grain of corn and dangled it in front of the unsuspecting bird, using a long and nearly invisible line. Once the turkey had swallowed the hook, the politician took off running, pulling the creature along behind him.

As he passed a group of turkey-breeders, he called out, "Fellow citizens, observe how the man does not seek the bird, but rather the bird seeks the man! For this unsolicited and unexpected dinner, I thank you with all my heart."
