| Monkeys and Caps |
Once upon a time in China, there was a young nice man called Ah Beng. He used to roam round several villages as he sold caps for a living. One day, he would be in Shanghai, while on the next, in Hangzhou.
It was an afternoon in summer and he was traveling the vast plains when he felt tired and wanted to have a nap. He found a nice mango tree with lots of branches and cool shades, placed his bag of caps beside him and went to sleep. Tired as he was, he was quickly fast asleep. When he woke up after a refreshing little nap, he found that there weren't any caps in his bag! Oh, God!?he said to himself, Why did the thieves have to find me of all people??But then he noticed that the mango tree was full of cute monkeys wearing colourful caps! He yelled at the monkeys and they screamed back. He made faces at them and found the monkeys to be expert at that. He threw a stone at them and the monkeys threw raw mangoes at him.
Oh my God, how do I get my caps back??he said. Frustrated, he took off his cap and slammed it on the ground. And to, the stupid monkeys threw their caps too! Smart Ah Beng did not waste a second collecting the caps and soon, was on his way.
50 years later:
Young Ah Meng, grandson of the now famous Ah Beng, was also working hard at making $$$ running his family business. After a long walk in the same jungle, he was tired and he found a nice mango tree with lots of branches and cool shades. Ah Meng decided to rest a while and very soon was fast asleep. A few hours later, when Ah Meng woke up, he realized that all the caps from his bag were gone! Ah Meng started searching for the caps frantically and to his surprise found some monkeys sitting on the mango tree wearing his caps. Ah Meng was frustrated and didn't know how what to do. And then he remembered a story his grandfather proudly used to tell him.
"Yes!!! I can fool these monkeys!!" said Ah Meng. "l make them imitate me and very soon I'll get my caps back!"
Ah Meng waved at all the monkeys and the monkeys waved at Ah Meng.
Ah Meng started dancing the monkeys were also dancing.
Ah Meng raised his hands and the monkeys raised their hands
One of the monkeys jumped down from the tree, picked up the cap, walked up to Ah Meng, slapped him and said,"DO YOU THINK ONLY YOU HAVE A GRANDFATHER??"
When I read this story, I feel this story is so Ah Beng-ish. Maybe it's because the name Ah Beng. It keeps reminding me of Ah Beng and Ah Lian only. I don't hate them, I just dislike their attires. My bro just told me a shocking truth yesterday, he wanted to highlight his hair, perhaps purple colour. Man, I really wish he won't turn out to be another Ah Beng.. pls don't?? |
