Animals in the Cold War
Following the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, the Soviet tanks rolled out of Hungary. The country was again free and democracy prevailed. Hungarians celebrated liberty for about 1 week. Then, the Soviet tanks came back in much larger numbers... The terror starts again... Everyone is running for their lives, escaping to the free western countries. Animals too... rabbits, eagles, snakes, and other species, all run in despair shouting to the other animals "Run for your lives! The red army is coming! Run as fast as you can!" A fox suddenly stops and starts thinking... "Hey! Wait a second... The Communists are red, I'm red. They're cunning, I'm cunning too! I could have a good future in the next government!" Chickens at farms in the Communist Republic Of Romania rarely get any meal and few of them ever lay any eggs. One of them lays an egg, then all others gather around her and the following conversation takes place between the chickens... Chicken #1 (from the crowd): "What is it?" Chicken #2: "I have no idea, it just fell out of me!" Nicolae Ceauşescu, the dictator of the Communist Republic Of Romania is on a trip visiting farms across the country. Workers at a farm get terrified when hearing that Ceauşescu is going to visit the next day. The farm is poor and there are only 2 skinny cows and a few rabid dogs running around... Workers struggle to make the farm look well, so that the crazy dictator won't get mad. After the hard work is done, everything looks great, the farm looks rich... unlike the country in general... The dictator arrives and enters a barn to see the huge crowd of animals. The poor things rapidly run to the other corner of the barn, away from Ceauşescu. Surprised, the dictator asks one of the farmers... Ceauşescu: "Hey! Why are they so scared, why are they running away from me?" Farmer: "Because they were transported here last night from a farm you visited yesterday. The poor things didn't have enough time to get used to each other"
