The Scuba Rats

The rats are under water.  They swim there, and they have tons of fun.  They wear little scuba tanks and breathing apparatuses which help them go diving.  They love to look at the fish.   "How lovely the fish are!" sayeth the mother rat. "Oh yes, they are tres, tres lovely," sayeth the kids in unison.   "Look at the minnow," sayeth the mother. "It's rather plain," sayeth the kids in unison.   "Look at the goldfish," sayeth the mother. "It's shiny and colorful like our beloved sun" sayeth the kids in unison.   "Look at the alligator," sayeth the mother. But the kids are so scared by the alligator that they rush to the surface and get the bends and die, while the mother is eaten by the alligator, scuba gear and all.  Crunch, Crunch, Crunch.
