Al-kisah Sebuah Periuk Nasi..
Friday, January 2nd, 2009Once upon a time there was a guy called Mr X. He lived in a 5 bedroom apartment with 4 other tenants. One day he decided to cook rice for dinner. So, Mr. x borrowed Miss A’s rice cooker in his house. Since he did not need all of the rice, he left the rice cooker on the kitchen until the next day.
On that particular day, two of the tenants, Mr and Mrs Y, who had returned home from their holidays, wanted to have their lunch. To their shock, they could not find their rice cooker. Without proper judgement, they accused Mr X of using their rice cooker. Unfortunately for Mr X, their rice cooker was the exact same model as Miss A’s one. They quickly notified Mr X to return the rice cooker. When Mr X met Mr and Mrs Y, he asked if the rice cooker was really theirs. Mrs Y inspected the rice cooker and said it is not theirs. A sight of relief, Mr X thought. However, Mr Y looked at him as if he had lied to them and accused Mr X of using their rice cooker. While returning the rice cooker to the rightful owner, Miss A, Mr and Mrs Y were still mad about their missing rice cooker. Mr Y was heard saying bad things about Mr X, while Mrs Y was trying to calm things down. ‘Tiada otak ka?!’, grunted Mr Y. Unsatisfied, they confronted Mr X again. They asked him if he had brought any rice cooker outside of the house. When Mr X said no, Mrs Y unhappily let it go and Mr Y was heard whispering ‘Go check the serial number or something!’. Mr X thought it was no use for further confrontation so he left them.
Few hours later, a surprising revelation surfaced. Mr G, another tenant of the house told the Mr and Mrs Y that their rice cooker was actually taken by Gampang. Gampang was a previous tenant who went back to his home. He took the rice cooker without informing the couple first. He would return the rice cooker few days later. Mr Y, who has a lot of brains, felt so happy that he forgot to apologise for making false accusations on Mr X. Mrs Y is happy too. She can finally eat rice again when Gampang returns. Mr X, was happy they can eat rice again and has vowed to get a rice cooker for anyone who are incapable of getting one.
