There once was a group of jackals who lived on a beautiful island in the middle of the ocean. They had the shady side of the island, and the hyenas had the sunny side of the island. When the jackals found out the hyenas had sunshine, they went berserk and drove the hyenas out into the ocean and took over the whole island for themselves.

The hyenas then learned to swim and frolic in the cool water, and were just so happy to be alive. The jackals looked on in amazement and wondered how they could also be happy to be alive, which they definitely were not. They decided to dry up the ocean so the hyenas would not have more fun than they. The jackals went right to work shoveling dirt into the ocean to dry it up, while the hyenas continued to frolic.

The island shrunk and shrunk and got so tiny that there wasn't any shade left at all, and yet the jackals continued to shovel dirt into the ocean. The hyenas watched all this in amazement, and continued to swim and frolic, just so happy to be alive.

The jackals then discovered that they had run out of dirt to shovel, and in fact had run out of island altogether. When they saw that they hadn't dried up the ocean at all, and the hyenas were still swimming and frolicking, they just drowned and the hyenas laughed and swam and frolicked ever after. The end.
