Gary had been a successful financial trader, yet alcohol had become his friend and gradually his other friends, his family and his job said goodbye to him. Now his home was the streets and sadly most of what was put in his collecting bowl was used to acquire alcohol. One day a thoughtful passer by bought him a fish and chip meal, which should have been a real blessing. Instead, Gary was in too much of an alcoholic haze to notice the noisy seagulls circling overhead. It didn't take long before chip-by-chip and chunk of fish by chunk of fish his meal started disappearing. Gary came to his senses in time only to save a tiny piece of fish, 4 chips and a sealed tub of mushy peas. The moral of the story is to beware of alcohol and seagulls!
