A man who lives at Lake Conroe [50 miles north of Houston, Texas, USA ] saw a ball bouncing around strangely in the lake and went to investigate.
It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously
tried to swallow a basketball which had then became stuck in its mouth. The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, but unable to because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface. The
fellow tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.
You probably wouldn't have believed this if
you hadn't seen the following pictures:

Be kinder than necessary, because everyone you meet is fighting some kind
