The Bat who couldn't Fly

Once upon a time, in a land far far away (New York City) there lived a colony of bats in the Empire State building. This colony of bats was known to be the best fliers in the whole city. One teenage bat, Pauly, was very eager to begin flying so he could explore the city and start realizing his dreams. You see, most of the bats of this colony were unemployed, or rather, saw no need to work because there was a surplus of money. I mean, hello, they lived in the Empire State! Those that do work are businessmen and handle sales of food (i.e. bugs). Pauly, however, dreamed of being a DJ! He knew he had the hottest tracks out right now if he could only get to the city and play his demo. That's why he was so excited to start flying.

On the night Pauly was going to start flying, he was a nervous wreck. He was excited to finally start flying but he scared that he was going to fall. Pauly's dad, Robert, was confident his son was going to be a great flier.

"Ok Pauly. Are you ready?" asked Robert.
"For sure dad. Let's do this!" Pauly shouted.
"Okay then. Start by climbing up on this ledge and spread your wings," Robert instructed his son. "Now start flapping them and on the count of three, I want you to jump. Read? 1..2..3!"

Pauly jumped off the ledge and continued to frantically flap his wings but he was quickly falling.

"Dad!Dad!" Pauly screamed for help.

Robert swooped down and snatched Pauly before he splattered on the ground. When he dropped him back on top, Pauly made the decision to try once more, but again he couldn't gain flight. Pauly and Robert were both deeply embarrassed, especially when the other bats called Pauly "The Bat who couldn't Fly".

Pauly was extremely sad, not only because he couldn't fly, but because he couldn't further his DJ career. Finally, one day he had had enough. He was in NYC! There were means of transportation everywhere! So he grabbed his demo, threw himself onto a passerby's hat, then jumped onto a passing bus that took him to a hot New York nightclub. He climbed into the DJ booth and secretly put in his track. The minute his music started playing, the dance floor went wild. He started scratching the tracks and getting into the music. Everyone started shouting, "Go Pauly! Go Pauly!"

Pauly was ecstatic. From that night on, he became known as Pauly B, the bat who couldn't fly and superstar DJ.
