Default The last strawberry

One day while walking through the wilderness a man stumbled upon a vicious tiger. He ran but soon came to the edge of a high cliff. Desperate to save himself, he climbed down a vine and dangled over the fatal precipice. As he hung there, two mice appeared from a hole in the cliff and began gnawing on the vine. Suddenly, he noticed on the vine a plump wild strawberry. He plucked it and popped it in his mouth. It was incredibly delicious!

Its a kind of a moral I think. Something on the lines of: In death there is salvation & before you reach your demise take what ever is on offer to enjoy what life you have left.

I actually heard a version of that on King of the Hill. Kahn (SP?) told it at Luanne's boyfriend's funeral. He made mention that the strawberry was the sweetest one that he had ever tasted.
