Three legionnaires were walking through the desert under a
baking sun. They were fully equipped with enough water for
days, and food a plenty.
On the shimmering horizon mirages came and went. Visions of
swimming pools attended by dusky maidens, stalls full of
ice-cream, sorbets, freshly-whipped smoothies of every
conceivable flavor. But the legionnaires did not crack, they
kept marching solidly on.
Suddenly one of them froze, "Psssst" said he. His companions
halted, and strained their eyes to where the first legionnaire
was pointing. "Le voila", said he, "Regardez, mes amis, isn't
that a bacon tree on the horizon?"
And sure enough; there it stood, proud and defiant in the
middle of the desert, a true bacon tree. Slowly they crept
forward towards the mysterious object so far off. Inch by
inch, centimeter by centimeter, until they were within a
stones throw of the bacon tree. Even nearer they crept, and
suddenly, a shot rang out, dropping one of the legionnaires
in his tracks.
The other two returned fire, and gave first aid to their
wounded companion. As they bandaged him, and poured water
over his face, they could hear his faint voice, "That was
no bacon tree," he gasped, "that was a ham bush."
