The version I heard was:

There was a fly flying 6 inches above a lake.

A fish in the lake thinks, “If that fly dropped 6 inches I’d get it!”

A bear on land thinks, “If that fly dropped 6 inches, the fish would  
jump out of the water, and I’d get it!”

A hunter thinks, “If that fly drops 6 inches, the fish would jump, the  
bear will go to get the fish, and I’ll shoot the bear.”

A mouse thinks, “If that fly drops 6 inches, the fish would jump, the  
bear would go to get the fish, the hunter will go to get the bear, and  
I’ll steal the cheese off his sandwich!”

A cat thinks, “If that fly drops 6 inches, the fish would jump, the  
bear would go to get the fish, the hunter will go to get the bear, the  
mouse will go get the cheese, and I’ll get that mouse!”

Suddenly it all happened,  
The fly dropped 6 inches, the fish got the fly, the bear get the fish,  
the hunter got the bear, the mouse got the hunter’s cheese, but the cat  
missed the mouse and fell in the water!

The Moral Of This Story Is…

“Everytime time a fly drops 6 inches, a pussy gets wet”
