A baby cockroach nearly got the better of me. It made me chase it round and round the room for a good ten minutes.

Number 1, i didnt know cockroaches could fly. Yes i know the big ones flutter around now and then, but this one really FLEW. Number 2, i always thought cockroaches were big clumsy and slow, but this one was so fast and nimble it made ME feel big clumsy and slow. Number 3, i always thought cockroaches were stupid, but this one made ME feel stupid by playing hide and seek and making me think that it'd finally flown off when it was actually taking cover ON MY LEG.

In my frustration i screamed and yelled everytime it flew off, leaving me to run after it with menacing tissue in hand. In my frustration, cos all i wanted to do was to go back to my table and finish my essay, i finally remembered to say a prayer after my tenth failed attempt to squash it.

It finally met a powdery end on the eleventh try.

Prayers do work! Hallelujah!

There was once a little boy and girl. They loved to pick seashells. They spent many happy hours at the seaside collecting tons and tons of lovely large ones. One day the little boy told the little girl that he did not want to go to the seaside with her anymore. He said he was too grown up for it. The little girl was very sad. She cried. But life went on. She grew a little older. In time, she found another playmate. They spent many happy hours at the seaside collecting seashells. One day the little boy told her that he did not want to go to the seaside with her anymore. He just did not know whether he wanted to pick seashells ever again. The little girl...well, I never did know what happened to the little girl afterall.

End of story.
