the story of democracy

daddybear coughs delibrately and the family turns round to look at him. mommybear and babybear stares at him in anticipation.

"i'm thinking of having a family outing this weekend, any suggestions?" daddybear asks.

"the zoo!!"
"the beach!!"
"let's go hiking and have a picnic afterwards!"

daddybear nods as he listens to the wave of suggestions. undecided, he asks everyone to cast a vote. mommybear raises her hand for the picnic, babybear raises his hand for the zoo, and daddybear raises his hand to..."fishing at the dock".

"but we haven't been to the zoo in ages!"
"the dock is too far, dear"

daddybear closes his eyes and contemplates for a second. then he announces:

"we're going to the dock!" beaming at the disappointed faces of his family.

mommybear grudgingly packs lunches for the family and babybear sighs in resignation. daddybear whistles as he digs out his fishing rods.

and the bearbear family go on to a fishing trip at the dock on sunday.
guess who enjoys the trip most?
