Once upon a time, there was a small village. Everyone in the village, young and old worked very hard and was very dirty. But one young colt was dirtier than the rest. He was called the Very Dirty Colt.

"Ha ha!"

"You're not much better, you very dirty filly."

This colt was so dirty that he made everyone else look squeaky clean in comparison. The colt's mother had never given her son a bath ever in his life. One day, the colt's mother woke up to find that he was dirtier than ever. So she decided to give him a bath. The colt screamed and complained-

"Like me!"

"Yes, Dashie. Just like you."

The colt screamed and complained all the way up into the bathroom. He complained even louder as he was put into the tub. And he screamed the loudest when the water was turned on. The colt's mother scrubbed the colt well, removing a layer of dirt. But there was still dirt left. So she scrubbed him until that layer was gone. But there was still dirt! So she scrubbed and scrubbed until all the dirt was gone. But when the dirt was gone, so was the colt. So she drained and rinsed the tub. The mud went through the pipes and through the sewers and into the river, where the soggy mass of dirt pulled itself out of the water and dried itself off. It saw a town in the distance and walked towards it, heading towards the orphanage, where his mother had found him three years earlier. It considered leaving this plane, but it wasn't done feeding yet. Not even close.

"So, what do you want to hear next, Dashie?"

"The Day Everyone Went Blind!!"

"If you say so..."

"Yes!"
