Food
"AARGGHH!!! How will i ever know the meaning of "FOOD"??!!" I bellowed while regurgitating curds on the greeny hill. I had been cracking my brain since the past few days, trying to find its meaning. This foreign word was introduced to me by my mother. However, she refused to disclose its meaning to me, causing me to have a severe headache now. All this had started a few days ago, when I was having my meal with my mother in the barn. Then, I began to realize that something was wrong with my mother. She was NOT having her meal!!!
I was taken aback. "How could she??" my mind wondered. "Impossible!!" My 500 pounds, fat, gluttonous mother is not eating??!! N to think that this meal is fodders from Switzerland, the "Heaven" for us cows??", I whispered in my heart. "What happened, ma?" I asked. She stared at me with a crestfallen face, curling her thick mouth, n broke down tearfully. "Boo hoo hoo, I can't tell you, Baby, u are now too small to know the Fate that will befall on almost every cow." She ended her speech n refused to say anything more.
No matter how I forced her, she was reluctant to tell me. However, later during midnight, I found out part of the reason. I woke up as usual as her deafening snore reverberated in the small barn. Subsequently, I heard her moaning in her sleep, "PLEASEE! Please do not make me into 'Food'! I DONT WANTT!! ARRGHH!!" I could see that she was indeed having the worst nightmare ever. The barn then began to smell terribly as my mother urinated in fear due to the nightmare.
Since then, I began to ask other cows but most do not know while some older ones repeated what my mother told me, "You are stilll too young to know."
This is the fifth day since that day. Nobody would help me clear my enigma. "Mum? Mum?" I mooed, looking for her. "It's all right, mom. I will not force you to tell me anymore. Just come out. Don't play hide-n-seek with me anymore. you have been playing for a few days already." My mother has been missing since 2 days ago. I trot towards my aunty, asking her about my mother. "where is mom, Aunt Cowie?" "Sigh... Baby, your mother had met her fate as a cow. She had been turned into 'Food' 2 days ago. Just live on, without her, Baby Siang." she sighed heavingly.
Upon realizing that I could never see my mother anymore, I begin to cry. It lasted for a few hours. "Ring! Ring!" Looking up, I exclaim with joy as i hear the bells ringing. "TIME FOR MEAL!" The word 'Mother' was then obliterated from my mind since then.
Time passed, n I followed the advice of my mother n aunty n lived my life to the fullest in these 5 years. "Eat, drink n be merry" was my motto. N i simplly loved the phrase 'Hakuna Matatta', meaning, "no worries".
I m now a full-grown cow. Looking at my baby cattles, I begin to reminisce the most enjoyable period of time in my life. My puberty life. It was certainly just like yesterday when herds of bulls whistled at me as I gorgeously strode by them, swishing my tail to n fro in a dazzling-like manner, just to make them faint with ecstasy. I was the most beautiful n graceful cow n was even crowned the title 'Miss Cow Universe' by other cows n bulls. All the envious n jealous looks that arosed among other cows gratified me. How the bulls had fought each other just to copulate with me. All that was the glorious days of mine. However, I am now getting older. "sigh. all good things must come to an end, it seems. " I mumbled regrettably.
I m still retracing my past when the mortal who is responsible to feed me came n began to lead me somewhere. I wondered where he was leading me when old Aunty Cowie rushes towards me. She is crying n she bellows, "BABY! You re now receiving the fatal 'Fate' that befalls cows!! I escaped it through my sickness n skinny physique, but YOU, the healthiest, fattest cow will now be turned into 'FOOD'! We eat grass as meals, they eat us as FOOD!!!" I am flabbergasted. I stare at the mortal with horror. Pleadingly, I said, "please dont eat me. I still have my cattles to attend to. I thought we have been good friends all this years? how we spend time together while u feed me my meals? I am already on the verge of tears. He stares back at me blankly n mutters something in his foreign language.
Nevertheless, it seems that this time, for once, I could understand the meaning of his speech. I can certainly swear that he was saying, "I have been feeding u so much, now it's your turn to feed me back, with that juicy thick flesh of yours, of course." He then licks his lips with his wet tongue.
"NOOO!!" I shout as I breathe my last. "SLAKKK!" I managed to catch a glimpse of my decapitated body in a pool of red thick fluid before realizing that I will then be gone forever...."
The end
