Reflecting Pond
In which Rat is sent off
Good time of day, humans!
Transcript:
Frog: — Stay away from my reflecting pond, rodent.
Rat: — It doesn’t seem to reflect anything.
Frog: — I do. I sit and reflect on the vastness of the Universe, the miracle of life, and how governments always ruin everything.
The whole reflecting pool saga is incredibly silly. You’d expect that, in a nation with more than 10 million residential pools and about 100,000 pool maintenance professionals, someone would have informed them that pools require continuous maintenance, they cannot be «fixed» once and left there. But obviously, government is what government does. And then there are people who see a bad situation and think of ways to make it worse. Sigh.
Poor toad to reflect on the miracle of life and government in one croak .
It was the perfect crime to compound the other distractions and diversions fed to those lost in rabbit holes, for if they ever poke their heads above the ground, even a turgid swamp will show the reflection of those who keep disturbing the waters and shaking the jar.
