How the Cricket Came to Be: [Written Version]

There once was a small hare named Cricket. He loved to sing and chirp like a bird. Every night when others had already fallen asleep, he would stay awake, chirping his call into the night. The animals and bugs became so annoyed at his antics, that one dark night after they had begun hunting; they heard him chirp, louder then ever. The vixen Streyner, a rather odd creature, was the most annoyed by the small, annoying hare, and cast a spell on him.

If you are to chirp
Like bug, not beast.
And keep everyone
Awake at night
Then doomed to be
A bug you are.
Nuisance of many,
You are cursed!

Whenever you hear a cricket chirp or annoy to no extent, remember Cricket, and know you could have it worse. It is one thing to lose a little sleep, but it is another to be doomed to the hard ground, your friends and relatives commonly stuck to somebody�s shoe, and realize how good in life you have it.
