A Little Beauty Can Go a Long WayBy Rollin Thomas
Beauty was a microbe swimming in the sea. She had a few million clones living in her neighborhood and as far as anybody could tell, her family had been cloning for over 3 billion years. Clearly Beauty was here to stay. She was successful and well liked by her peers.
One day as she was swimming about looking for a meal a huge whale shark came cruising by with its gaping jaw wide open swallowing millions of shrimp, and billions of algae and plankton in a single forty foot gulp.
Beauty was just missed by the whale sharks jaws but got stuck in its eye. This shark couldn't blink as it had no eyelids and beauty couldn't swim free so she started to swim about in the eye of the shark.
She swam there until it was time to divide and then she swam there with her twin. After a time Beauty and her twin divided again and there were four Beauties swimming about. That was several weeks ago and now the whale shark's eye is fairly clouded by Beauty; making it difficult to see.
You might think the moral of this tale is 'we are blinded by beauty' but actually it is ...
Moral: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
