Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood
and began hassling him about where he got it.
He told them to knock it off and let him get
some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in.
"OK, follow me," he said and flew out of the
cave with hundreds of bats behind him.
Down through a valley they went, across a river
and into a forest full of trees.
Finally he slowed down and all the other bats
excitedly milled around him.
"Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy.
"Good," said the first bat, "Because I DIDN'T!"
