The Reason why goodnight is like Good bye. |
The Tiger and Monkey By Lizelle Tabaquero Once upon a time in a dark forest, male tiger and female monkey lived peacefully. They’re known to be both friends since birth and helping each other for survival. Though the tiger is a very wild animal, the wise monkey tries to be a downhearted for many. Years past by and they both realized that they forgot to have a families. The monkey said that they should be together before they die and should wait for their time. The tiger agreed. Thereore, every day they we’re always together, even in eating and hunting for prey. Goodnight , Tiger… Monkey said. Goodnight too, Monkey… Tiger said. They both slept inside the stone cave soundly. As the sunset begins to rise, the monkey doesn’t move anymore. The old tiger cried after seeing its dead body. Due to his sadness, he attacked human, but he was captured and brought at the zoo. Every day tiger saw many people visiting his cage. He even gaze at some old human couples. When it’s already evening, the tiger sadly walks away from the other tigers. “ I wish that Monkey and I are born humans. So that we can have the same lifespan and then we can love each other like a family…” The tiger closed his eyes with some tears. “Goodnight, Monkey…” He said silently. |
