I was asked by my dear brother to develop a story as an exercise, I am not revealing the subject, I want it to be self revealing. and here's what I came up with:
"Lizzy, How was your day today?" asked the wall-E, as Lizzy would call him.
"You know, my mom used to tell me that our cousins in the US are pets. The human kids adore them, feed them, play with them. I don't understand why that li'l girl is so hostile at me. I ran for my life today, you know. next time, I will need to be very careful." Lizzy said.
Wall-E "Next time? there is going to be next time? Are you out of your mind? are you crazy?"
"Don't you love your life? Didn't you parents teach you never to risk your life?"
Lizzy," Tell me about it. I so clearly remember, in fact, that is the most clear memory I have of them."
"My mom would take me on that huge banyan tree, she will pick those red ants, they were so sour in taste, I loved red ants back then."
"she would give me a few and then some. She would then tell me, "Lizzy, you are so unnecessarily risking yourself. You should just move around and learn to hunt in and around this banyan tree house. There are snakes and cats if you go out of this fence. People say, they are just waiting for us to come out of this fence, and in no seconds they will munch you like that hoggard. See, your favorite red ants are also right here on the banyan tree. If you want to play, play where I can see you. next time, you might not come alive if you venture out again. understand?"
"I used to just nod, and agree to her."
"But, now am no longer a child, I am a grown up individual with my own dreams. I want to explore the outside world."
Wall-E, "hmm, I keep hearing the tv sounds about the traveling to the Africa, to Australia, to Switzerland. they seem to be very beautiful places from what I have overheard the TV in the next room."
Lizzy, "hmm, interesting, may be one day, I will be able to fly there, one day."
Lizzy, "but you know, about a year back, I did not know you could fly like this."
wall-E, "Me? ha ha, in my dreams also I can't."
"It happened to me so accidentally, I was on this tiniest branch of the mango tree on the corner of that farm, ohh, how would you know of it? There is this huge farm at the end of all these buildings. You have to be li'l careful while passing all the buildings. I have found the whole network of pipes laden under the ground, which, if you know the way, you can be there in less than 30 minutes. anyhow, The gushing wind comes swooshing, and I lost my balance to fall down. I got so scared for a moment, but then I opened my eyes, and I actually enjoyed looking around at everything from different perspective, it's just awesome. oh man, it's just a totally different level of addiction, you'll also get hooked to this jumping, flying thing if you do it once. I can never do it enough. I lost my tail on the same day, see, it's growing again now."
"you know, what I did then? I went up the same tree again, and went to the same branch again, and this time, I didn't wait for the gushing wind. I just jumped from there. You know the Speaky sparrow and the Coco cuckoo were so amused that I could fly without any wings." I am getting to be a pro now. You just have to be careful of those predators. how long can you just keep frightening and sit in this house, wiat for that one fly whom you may or may not trap in your mouth, it's so boring."
Wall-E, "I have been here for more than 70 years here witnessing generations of your family, you are the first one, I'm hearing that lizard can fly!""no lizard from your whole ancestry left this house, they were born here, and they died here." " you are the only one Lizzy, you are so different, Lizzy"
Lizzy," Did I tell you, I forgot to eat today, I was so thrilled. I'll just go on that banyan tree and see if there are any ants working out this late."
Wall-E,"be careful, the cats are always on the pry at night, they have a very sharp vision at nights."
Lizzy, "ohh that cat, who ate buzz, my cousin. Poor guy, he never got to go out and see the nature. he never had any dreams. He was in this waiting for the fly at the window rut."
"Anyhow, i'm starving and before these ants go to sleep, let me fill up my tummy. see you tomorrow, i'll tell you more stories of my flying and jumping.
Wall-E, "Good night buddy, live your dreams!"
Lizzy goes out to the banyan tree, li'l tired from jumping and flying the whole day with empty stomach. he lethargically climbs up the tree branch, so tired, only to fall on the sleeping kitty.
Next morning, Wall-E, to Bubba lizard, " I knew, he was a risk taker, a dreamer, who fell in the cat's mouth. but he actually lived his life Bubba unlike us."
"He was a dreamer man, dreamer, and he lived his life."
"You know, my mom used to tell me that our cousins in the US are pets. The human kids adore them, feed them, play with them. I don't understand why that li'l girl is so hostile at me. I ran for my life today, you know. next time, I will need to be very careful." Lizzy said.
