#061 The Tranquilizer 2 : The Last Blood (Part 1)

“Merry Christmas!” said Brook to his family.

Brook’s house was filled with laughter with his family of four, his wife and two daughters.

“I have presents for you two sweet young ladies,” said Brook with a smile.

“Where is it, where is it?” said the two little girls happily.

“They are upstairs. Hold your horses; daddy is going to take them now”

Brook went upstairs to take the presents for his daughters. He had bought two big panda dolls for his daughters as they loved panda so much. He grabbed the dolls and walked back to downstairs.

“What a nice loving family.”

Brook tried to go to the kitchen where he hid his gun.

“Don’t move, or you won’t see your lovely wife. I come here just to get some information, after that I will go.”

“Who are you? What information do you want from me?”

“Don’t you remember me? Let me introduce myself then. I am Pedro and I am Murdoc King’s right hand man.”

“I think I saw you at the old factory. This has nothing to do with my family, let them go and we will talk about what you want.” Brook tried to negotiate.

“Remember the guy who captured my boss’ son, Sean Frank? I can’t seem to find any information about this guy. All I can find is that he is dead in a war. Is it possible for a dead man to capture my boss’ son?” asked Pedro.

 Brook was put into silence.

“Just let me know his new identity and you will be spared along with your family.”

“How can I be sure about that?” replied Brook.

“I guess you don’t have a choice here, I am an impatient person. I’d rather kill than wait to get what I want,” said Pedro as he pulled the trigger of the gun pointed at Brook’s wife’s head.

“Alright alright! I will give what you want!”

Brook gave the information about Sean Frank new identity. After Pedro had got the information about Sean Frank, whose name had been changed to Diego Mann, he pointed his gun at Brook.

“You said you will let us free if I give you the information,” said Brook shocked.

“Did I say that? I am sorry that I am also a forgetful person, I may forget what I said,” replied Pedro and he shot Brook’s family dead.

“Boss, I got the information about Sean Frank,” reported Pedro to Murdoc King.

“Come back here now,” commanded Murdoc King.

#060 Clever Violinist

One day a violinist decided to play some music as he was walking through the woods. But this attracted a large fierce bear.

“How well you play,” he praised the man. “Could you teach me to play as well?”

“Of course,” answered the violinist, not fooled at all. “As long as you do what I tell you. Put your paws in the crack in this tree.”

The bear did as he was told and the musician was quick to jam his paws in the crack with a large stone. The bear was stuck tight.

The next time the violinist played, he attracted a lion, and the same trick was repeated. This time the beast was caught in a trap and ended up hanging by its tail from a tree. Then it was the turn of a tiger, which was captured by a similar trick.

When the three wild beasts managed to free themselves, the chased after the violinist to seeking revenge; but they found him in the company of a new friend: a huge woodsman with a giant axe, who chased the animals away.

And so the clever violinist crossed the forest in safety.

#59 The Husband Who Did The Housework

A farmer's wife became fed up with being criticised by her husband about how she ran the house, so one day she challenged him.

“Tomorrow I'll go out and work in the fields, and you can take care of the work in the house, let’s see if you can do it better than me!”

The next day the husband did his best to do things right. He began to make the butter, but his efforts soon made him thirsty and he went down to the cellar to drink some wine. He opened the barrel, but then he heard the pig come into the house and knock over the butter dish. He rushed back upstairs to stop the animal from causing more trouble, but he forgot to put the cork in the wine barrel again.

He kept getting into trouble all morning long. At lunchtime, when he put the stew on to boil, he remem­bered that he had not taken the cow out to pasture yet; but there was no time anymore. He decided to take it onto the roof, so it could eat the grass that grew among the tiles. It was very difficult to get the cow onto the roof. In the end he succeeded, and to make sure that the animal did not fall off, he tied it there with a rope.

Then he remembered the stew over the fire. He rushed back to the kitchen as fast as possible, so that the stew did not bum. He got to the kitchen through the chimney. For safety, he tied the other end of the rope to his foot. But not for long, the cow fell off the roof and the man was pulled back up the chimney and got stuck there.

When his wife came home from the fields, the first thing she saw was the cow hanging, so she cut it loose. On the other end the man dropped down into the fireplace. When the woman entered the house, she found the floor covered in butter, the cellar flooded with wine, and her husband upside down with his head in the stew!

He then begged his wife to do the housework. From then on, of course, he never grumbled at his wife again.

#058 Kancil And Crocodile 2

One day, Kancil (name of a mousedeer) went down to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the crocodile might be waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud, “I wonder if the water’s warm. I’ll put in my leg and find out.”

Of course Kancil didn’t put in his leg. He picked up a stick instead and put one end into the water.

*Chomp! Sound of a crocodile biting*

Crocodile grabbed the stick and pulled it underwater.

Kancil laughed, “Hahaha. Stupid crocodile! Can't you tell the difference between a stick and a leg?” Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink somewhere else.

In the next day, Kancil wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits on the other side of the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that Crocodile looked like a log when he floated. Kancil didn’t want to be eaten by Crocodile when he crosses the river. He had an idea.

He called out loud, “Crocodile!”

Crocodile rose from the water, “Hello, Kancil. Have you come to be my lunch?”

Kancil smiled, “Sorry, not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants to invite all the crocodiles in this river to a party. He wants me to count all the crocodiles so he could prepare enough meal for you.”

“Really? Tell us what to do,” said Crocodile.

“You must line up from this side of the river to the other side,” said Kancil.

Crocodile then got all his friends and family. They lined up across the river. Kancil then jumped onto Crocodile’s back.

“One,” he counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And the next crocodile, “Three.” Kancil kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river.

“How many are there?” asked Crocodile.

“Just enough,” said Kancil. He laughed as he ran to the forest to eat the fruits he wanted.

#057 The Monkey Judgement

One day, a dog and a fox were quarrelling over a piece of meat.

The dog said, “Let me eat it!” But the fox replied, “No. it belongs to me.”

They agreed to ask their friend, Mr Monkey, to decide the matter for them. The monkey listened to what they had to say.

“To be fair to both of you,” he said. “I shall divide the meat into two equal pieces and give you one each.”

He took a pair of scales and a kitchen knife. He cut the meat into two pieces and weighed each of them on the scales. However, one was heavier than the other. He bit off a piece from the heavier portion, and weighed the two pieces again. This time, the other portion was heavier. He then bit off a piece from this portion and weighed the two pieces. Once again, one piece was heavier that the other. He went on like this, weighing and biting some of the meat, until all the meat was finished.

“If we’d only known this,” the dog said to the fox, “We would never have asked the monkey to be the judge.”

Really, the old Korean saying is quite true ‘It’s better to settle a case out of court than to settle at the court and lose everything.’
