Once upon a time, there was a curious cat named Bernie who loved to explore new places. One day, he came across a sign that read "Restricted Area: Keep Out." Despite his curiosity, Bernie knew the importance of brevity and decided to turn back. As he walked away, he saw a group of birds chirping excitedly. Being a friendly cat, Bernie approached them and asked what had them so animated. One of the birds replied, "We just saw a rare species of butterfly flutter by!" Bernie's curiosity got the best of him, and he asked where he could find the butterfly. The birds gave him directions, but also warned him to be brief in his search as the butterfly was known to be elusive. Bernie followed their directions and sure enough, he spotted the butterfly. Remembering the importance of brevity, he quickly took a mental picture and left the butterfly to continue its flight undisturbed. From that day on, Bernie learned that sometimes the most valuable lessons are the ones learned in the shortest amount of time.
