Wooden statues!

Last week I was walking at the boulevard when I saw this little antique store, curious as I was I decided to go in and take a look.
After a while I see this neat wooden statue of a cat, it looked cool so I wanted it.
When I take it to the counter, the clerk looks up and say's "Aaah the cat statue, thats $25 without a story or $12,50 with a story" Looking at the guy I say "I just want the statue, here's $25 and keep your story"

After leaving the store and walking for a bit I suddenly hear a ringing noise behind me, after looking back I see a cat just sitting there and looking at me.
Not giving it any thought I keep walking until I realise that the sounds are getting louder, looking back again I see 5 cats now, all looking at me.
Starting to get annoyed I pick up the pace, but the cats keep comming.
When the total number of cats reaches about 30+ I realise it has to be the statue, so without thinking I throw the statue into the water and what do you think? All the cats jump in after the statue and start to drown as they sink with it to the bottom of the lake.
Convinced it had something to do with the statue I make my way back to the antique store.
When I open the door the clerk looks up and say's "Aaah sir, comming back for the story?" and I say "No man, I just wanna know if you have some wooden Mexicans laying about somewhere?"

My appologies for it beeing a tad racist and rude, but admit I made you laugh :D
