As I cautiously approached the forum, being quiet so as not to anger the gods, I noticed that one from the house of boatus, who had grown large, was being illuminated and thrashed for his clumsiness by many others from the house of boatus. I watched for days as the thrashing continued, only to see some of the gods join in on the thrashing. One god cast bad light, and then changed bad light to terrible light as others demanded more. Some from the house of boatus protested the thrashing. Another threw threats and daggers at all. Finally a voice arose from the large flailing and thrashed boatus: Please, we mean no harm. We have grown large and were not aware. We are sorry. The thrashing continued. The god refused to hear the pleas of the big boatus, that they had not learned and needed more thrashing and terrible light. I could watch no more. I told how fellow boatus could learn to exist with other boatus. I asked for the terrible light to be extinguished. But the god responded with lightning. “How dare you question the wisdom of the all-knowing gods?” “There will be no mercy on the bloated boatus”. With not much thought, I protested the pompous asinine voice of the all-knowing god. Another bolt of lightning hit me as a bigger god turned his fury to me. How dare I refer to a god as asinine? Donkey did not work out either and I was struck by a second bolt. And then the gods unleashed a fury of lightning to forever keep me out.
Hope I fare better here
