The Sightseeing of Hats

The young Hats was winding his way through time when he stopped.1

He stopped because he observed a cow in the middle2

Of a field of ice. The cow was patiently licking away3

At the ice. Observing this he believed it to be a trifle spooky.4

Why ever would a cow lick at ice? And so, being the fool he was5

At this age of his life, he approached the cow.6

To the cow he made a rather stupid comment, "Why hello there,7

Great Cow, why are you licking so relentlessly upon this ice?"8

And to this the Great Cow simply said, "I am creating the universe."9

Young Hats pondered this for a long time. He had learned that Chronos10

Had created the universe. And this he said to the cow, "Cow, i believe You to be mad, for the creator of all things was Chronos." At this point That was made the Cow simply continued to lick.11

Now it just so happens that Loki, the god of chaos, was listening in on this conversation, and in order to confuse Young Hats, He took the form Of Chronos, the creator of all, or so he believed. And unto Hats he Said "Oh great Hats, one who sees the blaspheming cow, strike down this Cow and make this world Awright." At this statement the Young Hats Reeled, for he had come to rather like the cow. Slowly the cow raised his Head and said unto Loki, "Cease in your deciet, stop this madness and Stop decieving the young Hats. He must make his own decision."12

Seeing that the fate of the universe was in his hands, the Young Hats sat And contemplated his plight. He considered all of the possibilites, and Knowing, as he did, that Loki often took upon himself the form of another In order to confuse the unwary traveler, he asked the one that appeeared To be Chronos three questions. One: "Were you the creator of the Universe?" At this the wily Loki promptly said "Yes". Then Hats asked of Loki, "Did you have any descendents?" And Loki promptly named all of the Descendents of Chronos. And finally young Hats asked "What is the name of this cow?" Promptly, in his haste to finish this inquiry, he named it, and Then understood his folly.13

For the creator of the Universe would not know a Blasphemer's name.14

Thus Hats overcame evil through quick wit and intelligence, and once again overcame the unwary Loki.15

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~returning the favor..I was an entertainer9Comic) for many years and was known as Matt the hat, because I had such a huge collection of hats that allowed me to be anything I wanted to be under them, much like that cow I created my own universe and shared it with others under the guise of a hat, and there were many worshippers and cynics, till my hats got put away...Artis
