A snail and a squid were disputing as to which of them produced the finest dye.
" My brilliant blue is desired by all men", boasted the snail.
"Yes", replied the squid, but my black ink is useful for avoiding predators. Furthermore I need not be crushed for men to extract it."
Just then a man came by and spied the two creatures talking.
" Aha!" he exclaimed, " The very type of squid I was seeking! I need you for my experimental blue dye pot!"
And he picked up the squid, leaving the snail to live another day.
The moral of the story is: There is no avoiding fate when the dye is cast.
