I'm going to start writing parables.
A man had been wandering through the desert for many days when he came upon a monastery.
"At last! I am saved!" He exclaims to the nearest monk. "Have you any bread or water?"
The monk fetches him some bread and a flask of water and looks at the man with sorrow in his eyes. "No ye not that man cannot live on bread alone?" asks the monk.
"Yes," replies the man with a smile, "But the last monk who chased me across the desert would have been better off with some bread."
A man was walking through the forest when he came to a split in the path. On one side was a well used road, on the other a path less traveled. As he contemplated his choice, a man burst through the forest from the path less traveled. He was wild and unkempt, with blood still fresh in his many wounds.
As he set off down the well kept road the wild man turned back to the traveler and shouted "There's a reason no one goes that way!"
A fishing boat sailed into the heart of a storm because the captain had wanted to see what his new boat and crew were capable of handling. As the ship was tossed about by the raging waves and the crew drenched by the torrential rain the captain looked down from his wheel to see his crew struggling to keep water out of the boat.
"Don't worry men!" the captain bellowed, "Bravery got us into this mess, bravery will get us out!"
The next morning after the storm had passed, the crew was huddled together in their life boat. One of the crewman stood up and began quacking like a duck, then he began to make strange faces and speaking in pig Latin. The captain yelled at him to quiet down and asked what he was thinking.
The crewman looked at the captain and began "Well sir, stupidity got us into this mess..."
When walking through the woods one eve not knowing where I went,
I looked above and saw two birds and wondered what it meant.
They circled above a cabin and I followed making haste.
There greeted me a man, who spoke of danger and no time to waste.
He invited me to dine with him and gave me wine to drink.
He was so kind and so sincere was all that I could think.
Twas only when I saw one chair and a table set for one,
that I knew for me this night would not one of fun.
The vultures circled lower now and I knew a warning I'd been sent.
He smiled at me with knife in hand and I knew my time was spent.
