A turkey and a bull were chatting. “I wish I could climb to the top of that tree,” the turkey sighed, “but I’m too weak.”
“Try eating some of my droppings,” the bull suggested. “They’re full of nutrients.”
The turkey pecked at the dung and felt a surge of energy, enough to flap up to the first branch.
The next day, after more dung, he made it to the second branch.
By the fourth day, after steady munching, he proudly perched atop the tree.
But soon, a farmer spotted him and shot him down.
LESSON: Bullshit might boost you to the top, but it won’t save you from the fall.
