FUNNY SEARCH OF RARE SUBSTANCE

2009-08-28T12:48:00.002-07:00

It's a very old man "Story" that no " one " knows where

it comes from .... Beginning of last century ,

somewhere in the " Countryside " anywhere in the

" WORLD " ..... It's the " Story " of a couple of " farmers "....

" P e a s a n t s " of tradition living very far away from

" T o w n " , in the middle of nowhere retired

in the fields with no " m e a n s " of communication

with the rest of the world .... Very isolated people,

in some way , who were born and grown up

there and never left their farm ....

After a while , their crops begin to prosper ,

and they start selling their " goods"

with the help of a middleman to high society

aristocratic people, and start earning

a lot of money and become very rich ....

One " D A Y " , they decide to go downtown ....

A very long way , and agree to have a " M e a l "

in a very " P O S H " restaurant for the " first time " in

their " lives " .... A " First class" very high society " restaurant "....

As , they knew " Nothing" about having a meal in a restaurant ,

and also being " I n a l p h a b e t e " ( unable to read ) ...

The waiter presents himself with the " MENU " ....

Looking to each other all " puzzled " and " amazed "

husband and wife .... And not knowing really what to do ...

Have a quick look to other people 's " P L A T E "

and what was on it .... In order to avoid choosing from the menu

so that people don't realize their ordeal !!!

As they " n o t i c e " a " t i n y " bit of " R e d "

spoonful " substance " in the corner of each plate ,

and people " tasting " it with great care and delicacy ...

the " husband " says to his wife ....

" L E T ' S O R D E R A W H O L E P L A T E O F

T H I S R E D R A R E M A T T E R ,

AND WE WILL MAKE A BIG IMPRESSION

ON EVERYBODY , AND THEY WILL KNOW

WE ARE WEALTHIER THAN

ALL OF THEM ,

AS IT SHOULD COST

A " FORTUNE "

to consume this

" R E D S U B S T A N C E " ........ Without knowing at all ,

of course, being ignorant , that " M U S T A R D " is a condiment

which should be consumed...

in a very reasonable

and small quantity ,

as it 's " H O T " and

CHILLY " ....

So the waiter all amazed and astonished , takes the order ....

" T W O H U G E S A U C E P A N

" of " R E D M A T T E R "

and " NOTHING ELSE "

With two large

" l a d l e s"

For Tasting purposes .......

Here comes the order , and " M a r t h a s s a "

being very " G O U R M A N D E "

decides to taste first and takes a very big "

spoonful "of the " mysterious substance " ,

without knowing that it's hot and chilly ,

her mouth reaches very high temperature and

her eyes " f a l l " from their " o r b i t " in her

" P l a t e " ." V O I C E L E S S " ,

unable to utter a word .....

O h , " D a r l i n g " , is it so delicious

that you are loosing all your control ?

And , decides himself to taste his unusual meal ,

" p l u n g e s " his spoon ,

and his reaction ( because of the burning sensation )

Voiceless , his " H a i r " become bristly and reaches

the ceiling , like a " Rocket " he flies to the sky ...

And falls back straight into " M a r t h a s s a's plate

where her eyes are still bathing and staring

to his in a close lookup " E Y E T O E Y E " ....

" T o o t h f o r t o o t h ".....

There's of course " p a n i c " in the restaurant ,

but in no time things go back to normal ...

And caring for each other , as never before ,

they decide to go back to their

countryside for never ever getting out from there .....

M O R A L I T Y : All this " H u s t l e " could have been avoided , if only ,

one of the two

were from " town "

or " high society " ,

and educate the other ,

but again they would have a lot to learn from each other ,

as one being complemantary to the other and learning

silently in their own way and reminding us " A l l n o t t o

" F O R G E T " where we come .... " F R O M "............................................. .......................................................................................................................
