The other day, I read a story in the newspaper about a short
fat man, crying in his Speedos. His name was John X, a citizen of Norway, and
he was thirty-five years old. The story went on to say that he was a famous biologist
in his home country. In 2006, he was awarded the Nobel Prize. But 2008, he was
arrested by the FBI because he used his cell phone as a weapon against helpless
microorganisms on a Petri dish in his laboratory. And he lost his job.
After he was released, he started studying about the penny.
Because he loved pennies and he
wanted to be a scholar like a biologist
again. He had been thinking about what to study. Something hard was an ideal task for him. He collected a truck load of pennies and
studied them very hard. Then he made many documents
that were written about the penny's
history. The process as to how pennies were made and so
on. He knew he was going to write a striking book about this. He bet his life
on the book to succeed again. The documents were very important for his future.
On a hot summer day, he went to Family Mart. When he was
walking around Family Mart, he found a nice body woman outside of Family Mart
who was eating the most expensive ice cream called, "before spring thaw
melts Fuji-san's ice". An old man
who was walking in front of the woman dropped his coins
but he didn’t notice. She picked it up and passed it to him with a beautiful smile. At that moment John X's body
became extremely heated by a burning passion, and he fell in love with her.
After he left Family Mart, he met his friend Lion, and
John told him about the woman. He just talked about how she was beautiful. He had no information about her. He didn’t even know her name. In the middle of talking, Lion said, "oh
probably it’s Kristine." Actually
Lion was the woman's friend. He asked
Lion about her a lot. According to his information, her name was Kristine. She was
twenty-eight years old and rich. She came to Norway from London on
her summer vacation. Now, she stayed at a five-star hotel. Lion said "we are
having lunch at my house tomorrow. You should come. "
The next day, John X was at Lion’s house with Lion and Kristine. John felt
happy to meet her again but also very nervous and couldn’t speak to her at all.
But Lion made the lunch fun and close between John X
and Kristine. After this lunch, John X and Kristine kept good relation
for six months and they became a couple. After
2 years, he was ready to put on The Tuxedo and propose to her.
From this day, he started his new beautiful life. They took
walks and talked of their undying love every day. But after a while, he noticed
that she began to do some rather nasty deeds. She developed a seriously bad
attitude. But he kept on loving her. She was the right person for him, he believed.
One Sunday morning, when he was eating sweet honey on toast
with cinnamon, suddenly she came to him and said, "I've just got a new
boyfriend. He is funny at
making jokes. He is not like you. I was seeking a faithful man
like you before. But I found you
are really quite boring and make my days dreadfully so. My dream is to run away from these days so I don’t have to
live in this Zombie land
anymore."
At the time of her disappearance, he realized she had robbed
hi of his penny’s documents. Actually Kristine Jones was a secret agent. She approached
him to steal his documents and become rich. This meant that she took his future
and the best memory in his life.
Today too, he is howling at one picture that is in her under a heavy wool black
blanket and crying, bumping, pushing, pulling and pawing. He still mutters to
himself, "She was like a beautiful blonde bombshell who exploded in my
life."
