The Big Onocrotalos Mistake

http://bestiary.ca/beasts/beast244.htm

No, Mr. Wilbur you missed the point entirely in your fine poem The Pelican. Sanctimoniously so.

It goes like this:

Musa faced betrayal as they all do. He comes back and some guy has taken the dirt from the archangel's footprint (before he galloped off into the starriness) and dumped a bit of it in the alchemy. Everyone was truly impressed except for God and Musa. They were not laughing.

One guy is laying dead somewhere else in the aftermath of it all, vengeances, etc.

So Musa tells the rabble to go sacrifice a beast of the bovine variety as a kind of thank you and folks start asking alot of stupid questions:

Folks: What kind?
Musa: A great one.
Folks: Of exactly what variety?
Musa: Perfect.
Folks: What color?
Musa: Yellow and without blemish or given to grazing.
Folks: Okay.
Musa (not finished with his rhetorical anger here): Then take a leg of it and bang it on that dead guy's head so he'll get up.

We are not exactly sure if this was tried but Musa then asks for a favor from his Almighty.

Musa: I need a favor.
Almighty: Of what variety?
Musa: Miracle.
Almighty: Okay. Take four birds and teach them to follow you. Then cut them up into quarters and place pieces on sundry mountain tops. They'll eventually come back as a whole.
Musa: Great. How do you do that?
Almighty: Wouldn't you like to know. Geez.
