Hey, bud. Where 'ya goin'?" "I'm going out to find my fortune," Replied the Sea Horse, proudly. "You're in luck," said the Eel. "For four pieces of eight you can have this speedy flipper, and then you'll be able to get there a lot faster." "Gee, that's swell," said the Sea Horse, and paid the money and put on the flipper and slithered off at twice the speed. Soon he came upon a Sponge, who said, "Psst. Hey, bud. Where 'ya goin'?" "I'm going out to find my fortune," replied the Sea Horse. "You're in luck," said the Sponge. "For a small fee I will 3 1 iv let you have this jet- propelled scooter so that you will be able to travel a lot faster." So the Sea Horse bought the scooter with his remaining money and went zooming thru the sea five times as fast. Soon he came upon a Shark, who said, "Psst. Hey, bud. Where 'ya goin'?" "I'm going out to find my fortune," replied the Sea 1.1 Horse. zi "You're in luck. If you'll take this short cut," said the Shark, pointing to his open [SNORT CUTt mouth, "you'll save yourself a lot of time." "Gr,e, thanks," said the Sea Horse, and zoomed off into II the interior of the Shark, there ;1 to be devoured. The moral of this fable is that if you're not sure where you're going, you're liable to end up someplace else. Reprinted with permission Robert F.
