Round Robin (except not really)
Once upon a time, there was a very fat robin. The other songbirds would laugh and make fat jokes in school loud enough for the fat robin to hear, and this made him very sad. When he told his mother about the cruel names children called him, she beat all their asses and told her son. "You're not fat. You're just... very round." From then on, when any of his classmates overcame their fear enough to call him fat, the robin would reply, "I'M NOT FAT. I'M ROUND," and had no idea why everyone would laugh afterwords.
Time went on, and the robin found a few friends and slimmed down as he grew, though he was always larger than any songbird had right to be. And so it was in a class in higher education that the robin met a fellow robin, named Cock. Which was strange, since flightless birds were not allowed at that particular institution. His mother found this funny, and giggled a little every time her son mentioned him. But Cock was the bestest friend the robin could have ever asked for, and they had such a wonderful friendship, they decided to be roommates. Everything was going fine until the robin walked into the birdbath one day after Cock had finished taking his bath, to find Cock had left his--[CENSORED CENSORED]--on the soap rack. The robin screamed and flew out of the nesting complex, only to be crushed by a crashing airplane.
Cock was devastated. Gossip soon began, and the story of Cock Robin spread, which each new person hearing it adding their own details or information before passing it along to their acquaintances. This, little children, is how round-robin storytelling was created, and the story Who Killed Cock Robin? was popularized.
THE END.
