Ouch!

A man was walking along a beach when he spied a small creature. He had no idea what it was and decided to take it home and show his family. On getting it home, he found it had grown a little already.

The family looked at it and was fascinated by it. The kids wanted to take it to school for "show & tell " so he put it in a matchbox overnight. In the morning he found it had grown some more so he transferred this thing to a shoebox for the kids to take to school.

When the kids got home from school, this thing had now grown so large it wouldn't fit in the shoebox, but filled their school bag. The growth rate was a bit daunting. Overnight, while wondering what to do with it, it grew so large that it couldn't even fit in the car. He decided it was time to dispose of it and loaded the thing into his small tip truck and drove to a nearby cliff top.

As he was backing up to the cliff he thought he heard a noise above the roar of the truck and stopped to listen. He could hear a voice calling"help, help" and realized it was coming from the back of the truck.

"Is that you?" said the man.

"Yes" replied the thing.

"What are you?" asked the man.

"I'm a rarey", said the voice. "I'm a very rare animal, and I grow at a very fast rate. What are you going to do with me?."

The man said "Well, I didn't know what to do as you were growing so fast. We can't contain you, so I'm going to tip you over this cliff and get rid of you".

The rarey seemed horrified as he peered over the cliff, and said in a plaintive voice ...

"It's a LONG WAY TO TIP-A-RAREY"
