Transpotime21Bus
Chapter 5
Futurist was not just another member of the transpotime21bus crew, he was a gift from science. He could not feel his own pulse, the direct transmision of his heart as he did not have one. He was the best storytelling robot on the planet.
Telling stories was his passion and one day Gifted Girl, jl777, feeling tired with thousands of thoughts and emotions filling her brain with codes and formulas decided to have a break and asked Futurist to tell her a story.
JL777: Please Futurist tell me a story
Futurist: Storytelling normally comes from writers, journalist , poets etc. Why are you asking me?
JL777: Because you are not just a very modest robot but the best robot storytelling on the planet. Your aim of telling stories is not to delight your audience but to teach them morals.
Futurist: No, I am the one who learns from the audience when they tell me what they think of the moral of my stories.
JL777: You are better than a writer or a poet as your stories are more visual than watching a movie. So please tell me a story!
Futurist: Ok, here we go. Once upon a time, long long longer than any original thought can remember there was a cow called Cow Olwison (Old Wise One). Olwison one day was walking along the bank of the river looking for a spot shallow enough to cross. Finally, Olwison found a spot, but while waiting there in the water there was a piranha that greeted her. It's name was Devranha.
Devranha: ''Good morning Cow, are you crossing the river today?"
Olwison knowing that the Devranha (Devious Pirahna) was a bad fish, he responded: ''Hey there Devranha, me and my mates need to cross the river. Will you grant us safe passage? The last time a cow tried to cross this river, your mates ate the cow. Are you here alone or are your mates hiding nearby, waiting for me to cross the river?"
Devranha responded: "No please do not think like that, we are good and kind pirahnas, we are even vegatarians and don't eat cows. It's against our religion to eat sacred cows.
