When I was coming back from delivering vegetables to the merchant, I saw cow, duck and twin piggies sitting under the tree.
“Hello pig,” they said.
“Hello,” I said.
“Come to join us.”
It has been many days already that I haven't met them; hence, I thought I should not refuse their friendly invitation.
When I sat among them, they began to talk about everything, but they didn’t talk about the sugar cane, the corn and the tomato. Since they didn’t talk about them, I didn’t raise it either. However, I was not pleased because mostly they discussed rumors about their relatives, their neighbors, their friends and animals around them. I felt bored, so I said to them, “I have work to do, so I go now.”
They nodded their heads.
When I left about five steps, I heard them whisper…
“Who asks her to bring Robert! See, she has to work to raise that dog.”
“Right.”
“It’s her karma.”
Though I didn’t put their words in my mind. It was reality in this world. If you sit among the people talking behind the other, you will be their topic when you get up from your seat.
