Irritated

"The Reader throwing a Book on the floor, saying, 'I never read such an impious book,'" the Moon begin again, after saying Basmalah and Salaam. "'You need not hurt me,' said the Book, 'you will only get less for me second hand, and I did not write myself.'

'That is true,' said the Reader. 'My quarrel is with your author.'

'Ah, well,' said the Book, 'you need not buy his rant.'

'That is true,' said the Reader. 'But I thought him such a cheerful writer.;

'I find him so,' said the Book. 'You must be differently made from me,' said the reader. 'Let me tell you a fable,' said the Book.

A man quarrelled with his friend. 'I have been much deceived in you,'

said the man. And the friend made a face at him and went away.

A little after, they both died, and came together before the great white Justice of the Peace. It began to look black for the friend, but the man for a while, had a clear character and was getting in good spirits.

'I find here some record of a quarrel,' said the justice, looking in his notes. ' Which of you was in the wrong ?'

'He was,' said the man. 'He spoke ill of me, behind my back.'

'Did he so?' said the justice. 'And how did he speak about your neighbours ?

'O, he had always a nasty tongue,' said the man.

'And you chose him for your friend?' cried the justice. 'My good fellow, we have no use here for fools.'

So the man was cast in the pit, and the friend laughed out aloud in the dark and remained to be tried on other charges.

'They both died, ' said the Reader, 'And so they did,” said the book. 'No doubt of that. And everybody else.'

'That is true,' said the Reader. 'Push it a little further for this once. And when they were all dead? '

'They were in God’s hands the same as before,' said the Book.

'Not much to boast of, by your account,' cried the reader.

'Who's being pissed of now?' said the Book.

And the reader put him on the fire, then to get rid of his annoyance, he tried to sing,

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you *)

The Moon gone with saying, "Wow, don't be mad! ... And Allah knows best."
