FRIENDS AND FRIENDSHIPS - Part 2

Hello!
How are you ladies and gentlemen?
I hope you are well and "not in the well".
Ha! Ha! Ha! Do you know why I laughed and laughed when I mentioned the words 'not in the well?'
What a big surprise and may be "no surprise at all" for some of you when the answer is "not in the well" is written here.
Well! Well! Well! That's what we come to understand what most English students of today do about their English grammar.
Never mind! Never mind! Never mind!
Shall we leave them alone or will their English teacher do something with them!
Well! Well!Well! Again a big surprise. So English speaking people have their own kind of interpretation of relativity and values. They why bother so much about grammar. Grammar to them is not important. What is so important is how people say things. And, may I add. I guess that's what they mean by 'relativity' and 'values'. In Malay, we say "Sudah menjadi tung gang terbalik". (In a mess). Yes, that would be in a mess if that kind of belief has become their flesh and blood.
Sorry (but my English teacher used to tell me that it was no use to say sorry if you have kicked someone down) I have been blurring, blurring my way for so long. Actually what I really wished to tell you is a different matter. The thing is this.
Did you read my first article on "Friends and Friendship"? I hope you have and I do welcome so much your comments and verdict. That way I can improve myself in my writing. Thank you.
Yes! Remember my 'rat' or simply the 'rat'? Please comment.
Poor rat! How, when, where will it find it's friends? Perhaps everywhere and nowhere! To it to find a good friend it must hundred times tried. Just like choosing a good watermelon. It is also remarked that one should not judge a book by its cover. But, whatever argument we put forth, we cant deny that we must have friends. Otherwise we shall be termed as "kera sumbang" (a solitary monkey).
So, without further ado hi set forth his journey to gather as many friends as it could to fulfill its mission. How? Why? He worked very hard to gather as many friends as it could. They had a very important meeting. They decided to find a way or ways to stop the cat from bullying or butchering them. In the meeting one smart rat had an idea how to do it. It said it was very simple. How? Take a change. Fastened a belt to it and tie to the cat's neck. The rest of the rats laughed and laughed.
"What was so funny about my suggestion?"the rat remarked.
" Not funny! Not funny!" The rest of the rats replied.
"So what?"
"The problem is which rat is going to tie the chain to the cat's neck"
"You all are right!"
"So how to do it?"
"We suggest, we vote"
When all the rats heard that they should vote, some protested.
As there was a protest, another smarter rat came out with another smarter answer. He suggested that whoever voted he or she would be given a big piece of cake or perhaps bigger. Hearing that, there was a LURE, everybody agreed. The meeting was on again. The rat, in the meeting, who was the smartest and biggest, was chosen to do the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.
This particular rat which volunteered to do the risky job, was a great believer in the works of 'bomoh'; otherwise he too was too scared to do such a KAMIKAZE.
The most crucial moment came. That rat began his work. He chanted all the love potion, the preventive potion and what other potions that he knew of. The cat which was supposed to be the rat's victim lay idle, with it's eyes closed at a dark corner. The rat thought everything was saved. Putting the talisman given by the 'bomoh' around his neck, he chanted all the 'holy' words of preventions and defense. He gathered all his courage. The right moment came like what we all saw in the James Bond series. He took a very slow walk towards the cat. But, without knowing that the cat had already opened half his eyes, slowly the rat put the chain around the cat's neck. As he was so doing the cat quickly pounced on him - the poor rat. However the cat as it is known worldwide as a very unpredictable animal, did not eat the rat right away. He Instead 'played with it to test the might of the rat. The rat knowing very well of the cat's MIGHT AND POWER was very worried that the cat's absolute power would corrupt the cat absolutely. He lifted his two front legs bowing down and pleading in front of the cat like a slave bowing down in front of his master to ask for his freedom.
Seeing the naive behavior of it's victim, the cat melodiously whispered into the rat's ears.
"My dear friend did you ever hear the law of the jungle?"
"No, sir" replied the rat.
"It's simply states like this: 'Only the strongest and the fittest live". I am indeed very sorry I have to eat you for my dinner. After all, because of globalization as you know the price of the chicken has gone up by almost 100 percent. Don't blame me, my dear. Blame the world without borders if you so desire".
Poor rat, he became the victim of circumstances, so to speak!
Friends, dear friends. Do please remember the Malay proverbs "Kalau kutu tak makan di kepala, dimana lagi dia mau makan?" (literally translated 'If the lice do not feed on the head, where else can they feed?'
OK, my dear friends ladies and gentleman. Please 'BEWARE OF THE AIDES OF MARCH.
Bye! Bye! And thank you.
