Blue Pigeon


The mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of pigeons in
Phoenix.


The mayor could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Phoenix was
full of pigeon poop. The people of Phoenix couldn't walk on the sidewalks
or drive on the roads. It was costing a fortune to try to keep the streets
and sidewalks clean.

One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Mayor proposition. "I can
rid your beautiful city of its plague of pigeons without cost to the city.
But, you must promise not to ask me any questions. Or, you can pay me five
million dollars and ask one question."

The mayor considered the offer briefly and accepted the free proposition.
The next day the man climbed to the top of City Hall, opened his coat, and
released a blue pigeon. The blue pigeon circled in the air and flew up
into the bright blue Arizona sky. All the pigeons in Phoenix saw the blue
pigeon. They gathered up behind the blue pigeon.
The Phoenix pigeons followed the blue pigeon as she flew southward out of
the city.


The next day the blue pigeon returned completely alone to the man a top
City Hall. The Mayor was very impressed. He thought the man and the blue pigeon had performed a wonderful miraculous feat to rid Phoenix of the plague of
pigeons.

Even though the man with the pigeon had charged nothing, the mayor
presented him with a check for 5 million dollars and told the man that, indeed, he
did have a question to ask and even though they had agreed to no fee and the
man had rid the city of pigeons, he decided to pay the 5 million just to get
to ask ONE question.

The man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his question.

The mayor asked: "Do you have a blue Mexican?"
