CONTEST SUBMISSION:
Sir Francis Bacon, an educated beagle, wondered about his name, did some research, and learned that his namesake was a statesman and writer who lived at the same time as Shakespeare. Some people thought that Bacon was the real writer of Shakespeare’s plays. This puzzled Sir Francis Bacon the beagle.
“Why is my name Sir Francis Bacon?” he asked his human friend.
“Because I like bacon, and you like bacon.”
“Did Bacon write Shakespeare’s plays?”
“No. Silly idea. Would you rather be named Shakespeare? I could give you a spear to shake.”
“I prefer eating bacon. And answering to Bacon.”
