“Piggy, there is a crow perching on a branch of a tree in front of your house. Aren't you afraid of it?” Cow, duck and twin piggies asked me.
“No,” I said.
They narrowed their eyes, “Why not?”
“Because I can see that she is a crow and she doesn't hide herself as a crow,” I said with a smile.
When the sun set, while I was sleeping in my bed, there was a door knock.
“Grandma, is that you?” I asked.
“Yes dear. It's me, your grandma. Open the door,” the outsider said.
“I won't,” I said. “Because I don't have a grandma.”
I heard an angry voice of the wolf, then I heard it going back to the forest.
“I have good intentions, that's why I came to tell you that duck talked about you behind your back,” cow said, then left.
Later on…
“I have good intentions, that's why I came to tell you that twin piggies talked about you behind your back,” duck said, then left.
Later on…
“We have good intentions, that's why we came to tell you that cow talked about you behind your back,” twin piggies said, then they left.
“Hmmm…,” I took a long breath. ‘All of you make me feel I am a person with bad intentions.’ I spoke in my mind. ‘Because all of you told me who talks behind my back, but I never tell that each of you talk behind each other to me.’
“Let's party at your house,” duck said.
“My house!” I said.
“Good. I want to eat grass,” cow said.
“We don't want to eat, we want to stay in the mud,” the twin piggies said.
“Me too. I want to swim,” duck said.
“Hence let's go to the lake,” I said.
“Why?” All of them said.
“Over there, there are grasses for cow to eat, water for duck to swim and at the shore of the lake there is cool mud for the piggies to stay,” I claimed.
“If you want a butterfly, don't chase it. Build a garden,” the duck said.
“Correct.” The cow nodded. “Then there will be many butterflies for you.”
“Yes,” the twin piggies said. “Get up and start working.”
“No, I don't,” I said.
“Why?” All of them asked.
“Because I just want to be a pig who is happy to be a pig. And a pig doesn't need a butterfly,” I said before I laid on a lounge and drank coconut juice.
It was a good day to relax and tan my skin.
La la la…
Then I saw a crow flying. In his peak, there was a small stone. He flew back and forth over my head.
“Hey crow,” I said. “What are you doing?”
The crow flew down to stand on my table. He put down the rock before he spoke, “I am thirsty. I found a bottle of water but the water is half. I cannot drink it. So I get rocks to put into that bottle to make the water come up then I can drink it.”
I thought for a second, then I said, “Wait.”
I ran into my house. For a moment, I came back with a straw in my hand.
“It's the year 2023 now. Don’t use rock, use this,” I said then I gave it to him.
“Pig, where do you come from?” Robert asked. “I went to the market to buy this box,” I said and showed him. “What is it?” “It’s a foam conta...
