Grandpa Phos's Rules o' Nature
After years of reading Mark Trail, observing nature, TV naturalists, and magicians that work with animals I have come up with a list of the heretofore unwritten rules of nature. It has come to my attention not everyone is familiar with these rules, well more like guidelines actually, so I thought I would share them. Break them at your own peril…
-Big and powerful trumps cute and fluffy
-He who bites best bites last.
-If you taste good, life is short
-Brightly colored things are usually bad news
-Large sharp fangs can make up for stupid
-Mess with the ray, get the barb
-If you don’t know what it is, leave it alone
-Fast and cunning doesn’t work at the edge of a cliff
-If it looks venomous, it probably is
-If it shows no fear, best give it wide birth
-Size doesn’t always matter (see venomous)
-Let someone else taste it first
-You can’t take the wild out of animals; you are only a blue plate special to the lion you are taming
-Dangerous animals make lousy pets

My mother passed this one on to me-
- never bother an animal while it is eating ( this goes for pets and husbands as well)
What wise words!
I also love fairscape's!! hahaha!

**-If you don’t know what it is, leave it alone
I'd take that advice for sure :)
Keshi.
- if it runs after you, try hard to be faster...
Most animals don't like it very much if you try to kill them.

Nanuk's back hooray!
die, I don't have to run faster than it, I only have to run faster than you... ;)
i agree with most of them including to stay away when you don't know what it is.
Ah, one I left out - no forehead, no brain - Yukon reminded me of that one.
