A bat came back from a long night out huntng. It was nearly dawn, and he really wanted to settle in on his favorite spot on the cave ceiling and get some rest.
All the other bats could smell the fresh blood on him, though, and they wouldn't let him alone until he told them where he'd scored the big, juicy meal.
"Fine," he says. "Follow me." They stream out of the cave in a big flutter.
He leads the expedition. "See that hill over there?"
"Yes," they answer, and they all fly after him, up and over the hill.
"See that field, out past the barn?"
"Yes," they answer, and they all fly after him, out past the barn and across the field.
"See the little stream running down by the road?"
"Yes!" they say. "Is that where you found the meal?" They're getting close, surely.
"A little farther," he promises, and they all follow him along the little stream down by the road.
They round a bend, and he asks, "See that tree up ahead?"
"Yes! Is that the place?" They're all very excited now.
"Do you see that tree up ahead?" he repeats.
"Yes, of course," answer the other bats.
"Good. Because I didn't!"
