A cute little cotton-tail bunny and and a beautiful red cardinal met each other on a lonely graveled road one morning. The bunny looked at the cardinal and said, "Oh, what how beautiful you are. I would love to be as red as you. It would make me so happy!". The cardinal puffed up his feathers in pride but then took a real close look at the bunny and noticed his beautiful white fluffy tail and said, "But you have such a beautiful cotton-tail! I would love to have such a wondrous tail as yours. It would make me so happy!". Poof! No sooner than the cardinal said it his feathered tail was replace by a big fluffy white tail and the rabbit's hair was transformed to the most beautiful shade of red.
At this moment a large hawk of grand stature was flying over and seeing the pair swooped down for a quick dinner. The bunny took off, knowing that if he could just get in the brush near-by that the hawk would not be able to see him and he could hide until the danger was past. But because of his beautiful new red color the hawk could easily spot him and picked him up in his claws and carried the bunny away. Also wandering along at that moment was a monstrous tom cat. He spied the odd looking cardinal with the fine fluffy tail. Immediately he jumped at the bird. The poor cardinal tried to fly out of harms way, but because of his new fine tail he was unable to get off the ground and the cat pounced on him and carried him off for his dinner.
The moral of the story is this.
God made us all the way we are for a reason. When you go about trying to be something you weren't intended to be will ultimately be the death of you.
I obviously have an overactive imagination.
