My encounters with a human
Life isn’t as easy for me as it is for the humans. And it is
only ridiculous of me to imagine it to be any better. But even I am a living
being and thus even I fantasize. Well I am a lizard. My life is all about
sticking to walls and observing the amusing human behavior. I owe it to you
god. If not a human life I can at least do this. Often I see people screaming
after looking at me. But here is one that I must share.
As usual, I was moving along the walls from house to house
and I reached one home early in the morning. As a matter of fact, I was not
moving, I was being driven out. What’s new? It so happened that there was no
power in the house and I was on the wall of the bathroom peacefully enjoying my
sleep. That’s when a girl came in and saw me. Her reaction wasn’t amusing at
all! It was what most humans did seeing me. She called for her mother and she
drove me out. And that is when I discovered about this girl’s aversion towards
my kind. At that moment I decided to take revenge for spoiling my wonderful
sleep. After all one can enjoy such peaceful sleeps only once in a while. And I
sat there, conceded by the wall and the pipe of the bathroom seriously planning
my plan. Though I am small, I still have a brain and IT WORKS!
I was waiting for the right moment. And finally, I saw my
time approaching. That girl was coming towards the bathroom. And I slipped into
the bathroom walking on the floor. Now this was something I wasn’t used to. But
I couldn’t afford to lose the chance. Curse my fate! She didn’t enter the
bathroom. So instead I waited.
You know, sometimes, even human proverbs apply to us. The
one I read in a school about the fruits of patience being sweet. The same girl
came into the bathroom to take shower. She was totally engrossed in her bath. I
really don’t get this point. Humans waste so much water just pouring it on
them. The world would be such a better place only if they learnt something from
us. It’s high time they did! Ok so, as this girl was taking bath I smiled my skirmish
smile. I knew this was my moment. And all I did was just slide across the wall.
And of course as I wanted it to happen, she started screaming. My plan was to
scare her and it was working because she was too scared to shoo me away!
Finally! But that was the beginning of a new dawn. It then dawned on me that my
plan might backfire. She started screaming so loudly for her mother she I was
knocked out of my senses for a moment. How much can my small tiny ears bear!
She kept screaming and crying and then her mother handed her a broom. But she
kept creaming. She really freaked me out. I mean she was so huge and I was so
tiny. And still there she was crying looking at me. ME! Who was somebody
one-tenth or even less of her size? And she finally tried shooing me away.
Duh... Still... I appreciate her guts. It was great for somebody who hated me
so much. And then deciding I had enough of a adventure for a day, I went away
unhurt and a swollen ego that I could scare a human so much. And ya, I forgot
to add, that girl could definitely become an opera singer. People with such
loud voices are hard to find!
Just like every dog has its day, every lizard has its day.
And I had it today! Well, I had enough of plotting and scheming for a day, I
was still intoxicated by my happiness of today’s happenings. This is what I
call sadistic pleasure. Hehehahaha!I had my revenge for disturbing my peaceful
sleep. Well she deserve that freak out. I’ll be back with more such horrifying
incidents the next time
Signing off,
Yours truly,
A lizard
