gotta admit, i didn't think anything would top the bear and the eagle fairy tale, but this just might do it [Time 'Too Painful' to Remember](https://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/10/world/time-too-painful-to-remember.html) > Later, Mr. Hubert was sent to Buchenwald. ''In the camp there was a cage with a bear and an eagle,'' he said. ''Every day, they would throw a Jew in there. The bear would tear him apart and the eagle would pick at his bones.'' ''But that's unbelievable,'' whispered a visitor. ''It is unbelievable,'' said Mr. Hubert, ''but it happened.'' notice any similarities :)
