The Egg Story

last nite i was supposed to be taking up my bio books n reading... but it just SO HARD to study while you're on holiday u know... SO HARD!!

anyway, out of boredom i came up wif this story cos' i didn't feel like studying :

Christmas Bulldog stared deep into zhiyong's eyes.
"When is he ever going to put up the shelf.. lazy bum?"
"There he goes again, digging his nose, what is it with human & nose digging?... we soft toys get along fine without digging OUR noses," said Birthday Bear as she turned up her nose at him.
"No this isn't the story i was talking about, so stop interrupting me," said zhiyong.

The egg snuggled closer to the wall.
"Mmm... the room seems to have shrunk a little since last week... but at least it's more cosy now."
Well, it certainly was comfortable... warm, snug... what more could Egg the egg ask from life? The sun was shining and life was treating him pretty well.

"Ooohh... limbs! I always wanted a pair.. Finally, some way of manoveuring myself."
Egg had awakened in the morning finding himself with hands and feet. Now he could finally turn himself to that upside down position & fell the rush of blood to his head he had often heard the neighboring eggs talk about. This was fun, he could do it all day to the beat of his heart. Deep inside though, he realized that the room had shrunk again... but he kept it to himself... & not that there was anyone to tell.

"Oh no, now i'm really in trouble."
Egg had turned himself upside down because the top of the room had seemed unnaturally hot & now he was stuck.. he seemed to have grown wider around the hips...
"I knew the room had shrunk."
The first spasms of pain shot through his body as he realized the room really was shrinking... and at an alarming rate! His face squashed against the wall.. Pain... Darkness... Suffering...
He closed his eyes and waited for the end to come. Darkness washed over him. There was a loud CRACK and he knew it... his bones were breaking. He felt numb all over. The pain was unbearable.
CRACK!! CRACK!!
then... relief finally, as a bright whiteness blinded his eyes. He tried opening his eyes and everything was white.. A seemingly darker shade of white approached..

"Am i dead?"
"No-lah, you're alive... in fact, your life has just started!"
"But i thought i dying... & how'll i go back to my egg now?"
"Hah, you call that a life? Being stuck in a shell?"
"But it was comfortable!"
"That's what you thought, but that's only because u're used to it.. NOW life really starts, you're FREE from the shell!"
"Will i be able to go back to it? I'll need somewhere to sleep.."
"Haha, is that a joke... Egg, when you've experienced life OUT OF THE SHELL, you'll never want to go back to it."

"You're pretty lazy yourself!" said zhiyong as he tried to sit Christmas Bulldog up after writing down the last words of "The Egg Story".
*blek* CB stuck his tongue out at zhiyong... or so he thought he did..

-The end-

okay, it's a lousy story, i know... but i had nothing to do... n i don't wanna study...
