The Blue Pigeon
The mayor of San Antonio was very worried about a plague of pigeons in SA.
The mayor could not remove the pigeons from the city. All
of San Antonio was full of pigeon poop. The people of SA couldn't walk
on the sidewalks or drive on the roads. It was costing a fortune to try
to keep the streets and sidewalks clean.
One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Mayor a
proposition. "I can rid your beautiful city of its plague of pigeons
without cost to the city. But, you must promise not to ask me any
questions. Or, you can pay me five million dollars and ask one
question." The mayor considered the offer briefly and accepted the free
proposition.
The next day the man climbed to the top of City Hall,
opened his coat, and released a blue pigeon. The blue pigeon circled in
the air and flew up into the bright blue Texas sky. All the pigeons in
San Antonio saw the blue pigeon. They gathered up behind the blue pigeon.
The San Antonio pigeons followed the blue pigeon as she flew southward and
out of the city.
The next day the blue pigeon returned completely alone to
the man atop City Hall. The Mayor was very impressed. He thought the man
and the blue pigeon had performed a wonderful miraculous feat to rid
SA of the plague of pigeons.
Even though the man with the pigeon had charged nothing,
the mayor presented him with a check for 5 million dollars and told the
man that, indeed, he did have a question to ask and even though they had
agreed to no fee and the man had rid the city of pigeons, he decided to
pay the 5 million just to get to ask ONE question.
The man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his
question.
The mayor asked: "Do you have a blue Mexican?"
