Once there were three Surds. One day they decided to go on a picnic. When they got there, they realized they had
forgotten the soda. The youngest Surd said he would go home and get it if they wouldn’t eat the sandwiches until
he got back.
A week went by, then a month, finally a year, when the two Surds said, “Oh, come on, let’s eat the sandwiches.” Suddenly the little Surd popped up from behind a rock and
said, “If you do, I won’t go!”
