Otis the otter swam the seas. He found many things to please.
One day he came upon a gull. Being one to see the glass half full,
He said, “How are you today? Come, want to play?” “Okay.
But only if we play my game.” The gull swam, Otis did the same.
‘Follow the leader,’ Otis thought. ‘I like this game a whole lot.’
He was led into a narrow fjord, where high above an eagle soared.
Talons sharp when it swooped down and snatched Otis without a sound.
The eagle then paid the gull in oysters for his role.
