one day daniel boone was walking in the woods.
i am hungry, daniel thought. i am hungry enough to eat a bear.
suddenly a bear appeared on the trail before him.
at your service, the bear addressed daniel, offering him a knife and fork. please be my guest.
what tomfoolery is this? daniel exclaimed angrily.
you expressed a desire to eat a bear, the ursine replied politely. i have been sent by the god belial, to grant your wish. he only asks in return that you become his faithful follower.
i think not! daniel answered sharply, and the bear disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.
daniel walked on.
now i am really getting hungry, he thought, now i am hungry enough to eat a moose.
a moose appeared on the trail before him.
the moose smiled, and like the bear, offered daniel a knife and fork.
and who sent you? daniel demanded.
the god moloch, who invites you to a hearty repast of my humble self, asking in return only that you become his faithfiul follower.
begone, demon! daniel cried, and the moose disappeared.
daniel trudged on down the trail..
now i could eat anything, large or small, daniel mused. i could go for a butterfly.
a beautiful pink and blue butterfly floated in the air.
i am all yours, it murmured. devour me if you like.
to whom do i owe the honor, daniel asked.
the queen of the fairies., the butterfly replied. and she asks nothing in return.
well, daniel thought, i suppose it can’t hurt.
