A man who lives at Lake Conroe (50 miles north of Houston ) saw a ball bouncing around strangely on the surface of the lake and went to investigate. It turned out to be a flat-head catfish that had apparently tried to eat a basketball, which then became stuck in its mouth. The fish was almost exhausted from trying to dive.. It was unable to, because the buoyancy of the ball would always bring him back up to the surface.

The man tried unsuccessfully to simply take the ball out. So, his wife cut the ball in order to deflate the ball to release the hungry catfish. You probably wouldn't have believed this story, if you could not see the following pictures:

Be kinder than necessary because everyone bites off more than they can chew sometime in life.....
