Cats and Allergies: A Fable

I'm allergic to cats. One time, a thirsty duck wandering through the desert saw a glass of water, but it could not reach the water, for its beak was too big for the glass. The clever duck waddled over to a pile of rocks, in order to fill the glass to the level where it could reach the water; unfortunately, some stupid cat came out of nowhere and batted the glass over, pointlessly spilling the water onto the sand.

You can still see that duck's bones in the Great Basin Desert.
