“I haven't got a clue.”
Riddler* #quote
Today my family is having dinner with the parents of brother's
girlfriend. They have flown in for the girlfriend's graduation. They
have already met brother quite awhile ago but they have yet to me and
the parents. Shenanigans and hijinks should ensue if I should trust
Hollywood's accounts of these kinds of situations. I think the role
I'm supposed to fulfill is the wacky guy so I should probably grab a
rubber chicken or two.
Daichi's Wish
In Japan lived a kind yet greedy young man. He wanted things but
never would take them from anyone. He would also be as polite as
could be. He worked a humble job with low income yet wanted an
incredibly fancy car. He always wanted a sports car from youth. But
no matter how greedy he was he would never do anything rotten or evil
to take it. But he wanted that car so he thought of one way he could
get what he desired without being crooked or nasty.
In Japan it's said that if you fold one thousand origami
cranes in a year you'll get a wish. And that's how young man Daichi
planned to get his sport's car. He learned origami and on January
first of a very special year he worked on cranes like a machine. He
still worked his humble, low income job and some of his friends gave
a little chuckle when they learned what he was folding cranes for.
Eventually Daichi finished the cranes and at the years end his wish
was granted. But the people at the local zoo were confused why
somebody would leave a sports car with its keys in it in the middle
of one of the animal cages. Daichi thought his wish was never granted
as he never quite specified that he wanted his sports car to be
delivered to his house when it was granted to him so it was just
plopped down somewhere.
But eventually Daichi did his sports car. Not the one he wished for.
Or by wishing for another one. He stopped believing in wishing. He
did eventually move up a little in the job world, save up and get the
sports car he desired.
