Bean, Butterflies And One Long Banana!

I can see your mind dancing with an YAY sound. Oh no, stop it! It reverberates. Yay. Yay. Yay. And one final very long irritating yay. Would you stop doing that!, I shout again. But you wouldn't listen. Since when have you become such pervert! - I want to know. Pull your thoughts up from the dregs. It is just a story. A story with three different species, yes of course with one human in it. Do you not worry - I shall definitely take your thoughts down to the muck. The muck that you always love to sniff and smell. But wait, don't do it all by yourself. Let me teach you how to do it, so you do it well.

The guess is right. Bean is the human. Oh yes, the same Bean from the Pogo Channel. He, duly, is the hero of this read. Mister Bean. 'Duly', really? Hey hey, can't jokers be heroes at least once! C'mon, be fair. You cannot just laugh them away all the time. They're important as well. Very important, particularly for this read. Tune your mind and say, Mister Bean the hero! Ah good, that's how you say. MISTER BEAN THE HERO!! See, I made you say; so now - its my turn to yay.

Back to the story. This happened in a forest few days back. A dark forest. A forest where there was no one. An empty dull forest. And Bean went in to say hi to the Banana. Yes. The One Long Banana. They said - there was no other banana like this. Because the color of this was black. Pitch black. The other day, this came even in the news telecast. The papers read that there was just one such banana in the whole world. Right away, Mr Obama announced in the Congress that the United States need to send in the SEAL squad to rescue the banana from the banality of the forest. He wanted the banana to remain fresh all the time. So it was decided that the NASA would provide all the technical support and Nolan's producers would fund the project.

Lo and behold, Mister Bean reached there before the SEAL. And lo lo and behold, the banana - the One Long Banana - was lying dead and wasted on the ground. Surprisingly, butterflies were swarming around the fallen rotting banana. Not the bees. The butterflies were beautiful, unlike the special banana which was pitch black. They were in multiple colors. Blue, green, red and some more weird mix. The Bean who went to say hi and eat the banana, changed his mind. He wanted to catch one of those butterflies.

So he ran after them. Ran so hard. The thing with the butterflies is that if you go near them, they would just fly away. And the fun run started. The scene was so amazing to watch. Bean and the butterflies. Just one Bean and so many butterflies. And the running behind. But he couldn't even catch one. Every trick was failing. When he ran back, he stepped on that rotting One Long Banana, fell and broke his nose.

Mister Bean with a bleeding nose. He was lying down. He and the One Long Banana next to him. He looked at the banana like a husband would look at his wife wanting more. I shouted at him - 'You idiot Bean change your expression!' Now he knew what to do. He took the banana, peeled its pitch black cover and held the lump in his mouth - with the major chunk projecting out.

The trick worked. The butterflies that were scattered came one after the other and sat on the banana. Bean went ecstatic, but was in control. He wanted more. More. More. More. He closed his eyes. Opened. Some more, he said to himself. More. More. More. Now, there were a hundred butterflies sitting on the One Long Banana which was sitting on Mister Bean's mouth. Swiftly, the idiot pulled both of his hands and tried to catch few butterflies. He did catch a few. They were in the palm of his hands tightly held. He was so happy. But lo - when he opened, all were crushed and dead.

Moral of the story, if you want to eat bananas don't run after butterflies. Most of us start sprinting and half-way down the track we want to jump into the waters and try swimming. Hopelessly funny, some of our interests are! However confusingly complicated our lives sometimes can become, in the course of pursuing our interests - let us not cause harm to others at any point in time.

Peace. Be happy.
