Saw Taw Naw Lweh (Really True)      

A mother whale and father whale were swimming along the coast with their adolescent son whale when 
the mother saw a school of people on the beach.

“What’s that? ” asked the son whale who had never seen a school of people or even a person before

“People, son”, answered the father whale, “you see them all up and down this waste at the time of year. They cover themselves with oil and lay themselves on the sand and boil themselves until they sizzle. But they are such a little things”.

 Said the son whale, “I’ll bet I could swallow one whole and have him live in my stomach.

 His mother said, “I would not want my stomach fill with any thing that have been boil in oil and had sand all over! Cute! Funny”! She added. “It would be very unhealthy because they will filled with smoke and 
hot dogs ”   

The father whale said, “They sit on the beach and stare at the ocean, and they eat hot dogs ”

The mother whale said, “They also walk in the ocean every now and then for a short time and splash around in such a clumsy manner that the fish have to get out of their way”.

“They seem to be useless”, said the father whale.

“Why did the great whale make people anyway? ”

“Son,” said the father, “no creature in the great whale’s universe exists without the purpose. If the great whale made people it was for a good reason”.

“May be people are the great whale’s way of down, the hotdog population”, the young whale suggested.

“People are something”, said the mother, “that even a whale can’t understand. We must accept the world as it is and live in peace with it”.

The father whale drew their attention to a small group who had moved away form the school and were getting it a metal boy or wheels. When they were all inside the metal box moved a long the beach, throwing up a great cloud of sand and destroying vegetation and bird nets.

“What are they doing now?” asked the young whale.

“Making rubbish”, said the father whale. “People make almost all the rubbish in the world and they use those little moving box to do it”. He showed his son the dark gases with came out of the box. “And inside the box”, he explained, “they are also preparing more rubbish”. At that moment six beer cans came flying out of the box, followed by a bag containing a half-eaten hot dog, a mustard jar, some banana peels and 
an empty plastic body oil container. 

“May be this is the reason the great whale made people”, said the young whale. “To make rubbish!” "The world doesn’t need rubbish”, growled the father whale.

“Now, now”, said the mother whale, who was always uneasy whenever religion was mentioned. “We must accept the world as it is and learn to live at peace 
with it”.

“Sometimes”, said the father whale, “I think the great whale doesn’t know what he’s doing”.

 “Your father has been very sensitive about rubbish.” the mother whale explained, “ever since he dived 
into 800 tons of fresh sludge which had been dumped off the coast. He smelled disgusting for weeks!”

The young whale was so excited by this news, that he spouted. The people on the shore saw it and cried, “Whales!” Somebody threw a beer bottle at them. The whales made for the deep distant water.

Later that night as they drifted off the Gulf stream admiring the stars, a large ship passed by and spilled oil over them but they remained at peace with the world as it was. And afterword, dreamed of the unfortunate people behind them making rubbish through the sweet summer night.
