Description
"Hueys may look the same, think the same, and even do the same things, but that doesn't mean they can't disagree. The only problem is, they can't seem to agree on what they didn't agree on in the first place! Which ultimately leads to an even bigger disagreement"--

Jeffers' brief story highlights the fact that recognizing this can lead to a cessation of hostilities. Especially if distraction (in the form of dead flies) can be provided. Recommended to anyone who read and enjoyed the first story about these odd but somehow endearing little creatures.
