A Friend in Need is a Friend I Dont Seek
Remember the story of the lion and the mouse? One day there was a mouse who was jumping around in the forest, when he really should have stayed in the city. A lion caught him and threatened to eat him. A normal lion would have done so right away, but this lion was special. This lion could talk! So they negotiated.
So the mouse pleaded with the lion to let him go. For some strange reason with defies the laws of survival, the lion decides to let the mouse go.
A few days later, the lion was cursing himself for letting the mouse go as he was diligently foraging for more food. Suddenly, he fell into a trap and was caught in a net made of rope. He struggled and struggled but could not break free. He was sure to die.
Someone up there must really have liked him, because along came the mouse he spared. The lion begged the mouse to help him escape. Feeling indebted to the lion, the mouse gnawed at the net and finally the lion escaped. The both of them became best friends and lived happily ever after. Too bad they were both guys, or else they would have had moulions or liouses. *gag!
I faced sort of the same situation today. For some really weird reason, my car lights were on from about 12pm to 3.30pm this afternoon. As a result, my car battery went flat. I called Roger, who was absolutely inaccessible, thanks to his Lineage addiction, and then called Kong Hong.
A few weeks ago, when they were out grocery shopping, Roger and the gang couldn’t get Kong Hong’s car to start for the trip back home. So they summoned me from my post-dinner slumber to their rescue. And rescue them I did.
Fortunately, Kong Hong was already out trying to sell his car, so I didn’t have to feel bad about making him leave the house to save my car. The ol’ Chinaman came and with the very same vehicle my car revived a few weeks back and powered up my battery back to life. It was a very touching scene. *sniff sniff
