*BS & the 'Tapalapa'* BS, his longest name -gripped by hunger, he rushed to the nearby bread selling place. luckily, the clay-oven (Fur) did a good job with foot-long flour 'tapalapa' ones, ready to go. In his hand, two notes -a $1.00 and $100.00 bills. [Well, well...a foot-long 'tapalapa' cost only two dollars a loaf, so he used the dollar bill to get the loaf of bread forcefully from the bread man. For sure that wasn't an agreed purchase, but for all those that cared -"Take the bread and let me live in peace." The bread man imagined, just like all those that know the character BS would wish.] BS wrapped the hot bread in a newspaper which he doesn't even read . Had he read the day's humor on that paper, a piece written by Fox -the writer talked about how a fool's $20.00 note burnt in the same oven the previous day. That would have been a prevention before cure. He also by idiocy had the $100.00 note to this fine wrap in sideline. BS would greadily take large bites, munching aloud without any waste of time -competing with the unseen and unknown devils around. He would conquer the foot-long to an inch-long within a nanosecond or lightening flashes, which also means he would have finished eating the $100.00 bill to an inch long. It was a good lesson to teach the bread and the bread man -that hungry BS doesn't play games, but the bigger lesson, Batch Samba, aka 'katatoo-Samba seitaneh nyaka yar ak hel' has earned the sin and curse of peaceful villagers whose respect and peace he never accorded. Knocking his hands on his chest often furiously, he would bite his pointer-finger pointing to the gloomy skies saying "I am the great Batch Samba. I can do this and that as I will. There is no power beyond me. I am the all-wise. I can lie all I want. I can give terror justice to whoever and any one that stand on my way, and I will frustrate your life with all my sturborness." He would laugh aloud, even scaring the birds around -just like an african swinging rope (made in a way to carry stones for scaring birds away." As he munches - he wanted to give the last end of the bread head the final conquer lesson -the conquer justice, the remaining triangular $100.00 piece of the note frowned at BS, and the note said imaginarily "You've eaten me and I am worth nothing now." At that point, it looked like a thunder clap slapped him on his face; panic fear and dizziness -the trouser was filled with *hit. To him, the world has turned upside down. Heaven is no longer paradise but hell-fire. Moments went by slow; minutes were hours. Instead of apologising to the bread man for forcefully taking a bread from him, he again will take to a brawl, fighting and blaming the bread man for his (BS) own faults. At that point, his complexity and lacking in unity spirit; his lacking in co-existence morality;his arrogance, hypocritical egos and lacking in discipline; his hate, jealousy and anger; and the lot more won't let common sense rescue him. * Moral lesson: Ah waye, how about a degree of humbleness BS, because agreable that there are many ways to kill a serpent. While BS may frustrate and terrolize the bread man with all his arrogance and manupulations without an iota of right or truth, he(BS) still risk being a laughing substance any time he foams on his mouth to the innocent breadman. Instead of using a catapult, the bread man will smoke him in an oven, his only weapon. For sure, that would be a balanced equation. If he humbles himself and beg from the breadman, - by generosity, he is sure to walk away with plenty, but if he uses force and arrogance, then the wrath (anger) of God be upon him for eternity.** *Tapalap -bread processed though clay-ovens, normally with a technique of firewood.
