The Pygmy and the Rhinoceros

Story★★★★

THERE is a story of a little teeny pygmy who was standing over a rhinoceros that he killed. This was an odd sight to behold, a big, violent rhinoceros under the feet of a little teeny pygmy. A guy saw this dead rhinoceros and this little pygmy over it and said, “Did you kill that?” The little pygmy said, “Yeah I killed it.”

Curious, the man asked, “So how did you, a little tiny pygmy, kill this rhinoceros?” He answered, “With my club. Yep! I killed this rhinoceros with my club.”

The man was still thoroughly confused, “Well, how big is your club?” The pygmy said, “There are about a hundred of us in my club.” In other words, he was surrounded by folk who had the same beliefsystems and worked together so that they could handle being attacked by a rhinoceros.
