Scratching

4 Aug 2012 2.40pm

 

Neighbor: Mr. Lion, you look quite ... wide today. Is your thick fur making you uncomfortable, some mites biting you?

 

Mr. Lion continuing to do what he was doing, scratching: What are you hinting? You are saying that I'm fat. No one will use wide to describe someone? Yes I think there might be some ants or mites.. damn it, can't get them off.

 

He paused 10seconds to continue to do what he was doing and said: I look fat in this angle, but I will look slimmer in another. Do you know? Someone I know also looked very fat today but later has slimmed down.

 

Neighbor: I know who you mean but I was wondering whether it is Mr. Might-be Vampire trying to crack a joke about his dog Carrot again. You know, the two of them are like the best playmates, they like to tease each other.

 

Mr. Lion: But Mr. Might-be Vampire said he is honest in what he has said. There is no joke in what he said. Carrot was fat this morning, and that's the truth.

 

Carrot's voice: Actually it will be best for me to clarify? I was fat this morning.

Mr. Lion: But why? What happened?

 

Carrot: Last night Mr. Might-be Vampire showed me her flowers to make me feel bored. But I think I am allergy to that, and I started to get very swollen. Swollen forehead, swollen body (Mr. Lion: Are your ears alright? Swollen nose too?) Sigh, when I'm really swollen, it's really hard to differentiate my ears from nose. You wouldn't want to see me at that time. You will laugh Mr. Lion. I think only kindhearted folks like you, gardener, will not laugh at me.

 

Neighbor: No I won't. But probably I will be very surprised. Please give me sometime to adapt to your looks if you happen to be in that kind of situation again.

 

Carrot: Thanks for the assurance that you won't run away when I look out of proportion. Mr. Might-be Vampire commented that I was overweight, well, though I think I wasn't. I was just swollen, looking really bigger than usual.

 

Neighbor: Why did he say you were bothering him?

Carrot: I kept asking him for a solution: HOw HoW HOW? And he couldn't come up with one. And because I was already swollen, he couldn't add on to my problem by scratching me or massaging me to give him some inspirations? You know right? He likes to do that to get some distraction from his problems and get some ideas from me right? But he couldn't possibly do that when I am already in that shape. So he was in quite a loss too.

 

Mr. Lion: Then are you alright now?

Carrot: Yes. I have been sleeping in the afternoon. I was really tired.

 

Neighbor: How did you get it fixed?
