Excerpt
All was going well in the little town until one day when the Mayor called a town meeting and told everyone that an award would be given to the most important citizen. The Mayor said that the most important citizen would receive a gold medallion.
Each person told the Mayor why they were the most important.
The Mayor looked at everyone and said, "But I thought everyone knew that the most important citizen is the Mayor. I do all the important work in the town."
Everyone shouted at the Mayor. "No you don't. Humpf!" And with that everyone turned their backs on the Mayor.
Well, WHAT a MESS this was!
