A Batty Tale

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood
and parked himself on the cave roof to sleep. Soon all the other bats could
smell the blood and they started pestering him about where he had found
it. He told them to leave him alone but they persisted until he gave in.

'OK,follow me,' he said as he set off, closely followed by the other bats.

After travelling a long way over the valley, he slowed to a stop.
'See that tree over there?' he asked. 

'Yes, yes, we do!' screamed the
excited bats.

'Good,' he said. 'Because I didn't.'
