the man and the fly, the dog and the duck
The itching was being caused by a fly inside his ear.
He ran, jumped and screamed, but the fly remained there, buzzing.
He dove into a lake, hoping it would die. It did not.
A dog and a duck pointed and laughed at the crazy man.
The fly stopped buzzing for a moment, so he tried not to move.
He could feel it leaving his ear. It was almost there, just a few more tiny steps.
But the fly was not ready yet, it was determined to drive him insane.
It went back inside and started buzzing again, as loud as it could.
The duck felt bad for the man and decided to help him.
The dog, however, couldn’t care less.
The duck started pecking at his ear.
The man twisted on the ground like a worm, as the fly buzzed and the duck pecked.
Finally, it all stopped. Everything was quiet again. The man stood up and walked to his house.
The dog asked the duck if the fly was dead.
The duck did not say a word.
The dog repeated the question.
The duck started shivering, its legs were trembling.
A few seconds later, it laid an egg.
The dog presumed that the fly was inside the egg.
The question remained unanswered.
The duck started humming.
The dog moved two steps away from the duck and said:
“Freak.”
