Dracula decides to carry some sort of a competition to see which is the finest bat to stand on his side. The rules were simple. The bat who drinks the most blood would be the winter. He selects his three top bats to compete.

 

So the first bat goes and comes back after 10 minutes. Her mouth was full of blood. Dracula says: "Congratulations, how did you do that?" The bat said: "Do you see that tower? Behind it there is a house. I went in and sucked the blood of all the family."

 

"Very good," says Dracula.

 

The second bat goes and comes back after 5 minutes all her face covered in blood. Dracula astonished says, "How did you do that?" The bat replies, "Do you see that tower? Behind it there is a school. I went in and drunk¹ the blood of all the children."

 

"Impressive," Dracula replies.

 

Now the third bat goes and comes back after three minutes literally² covered in blood from top to toe.

 

Dracula is stunned³. "How on earth did you do that????" he asked.

 

And the bat replies. "Do you see that tower?"

 

Dracula replies, "Yes."

 

And the bat says, "Well, I didn't."
