A group of friars lived in a monastery...

A group of friars lived in a monastery.  As with many monasteries, the friarsfound it necessary to run a small business to support themselves. They ran afloral shop. One day one of the friars brought in an exquisite find: a Venusfly trap. It was such a cute thing, they couldn't bear to sell it, so theyjust kept it on display.  But after a while, it grew so big that flies were nolonger enough to satisfy it.  It ate cockroaches, but it kept growing.  Itate mice, but it still kept growing.  It ate chipmunks, squirrels, cats, thenraccoons and dogs and ponies.  Finally the villagers got wise to this andattempted to put a stop to it.  But try as they might, no one could.  One wayor another, the friars outsmarted the townsfolk and raided their farms oflarge animals.  Finally the villagers pooled their money and hired aprofessional named Hugh to come in and capture the friars.  Hugh stormed themonastery, destroyed the fly trap, captured the friars, and turned them overto the police.  The moral of this story is:  Only Hugh can prevent floristfriars.
