Dunno ...

"'Mate!' the Donkey greeted the Horse, when they met in a savannah," the Moon began her story after saying Basmalah and Salaam. 'When you were with your community, what was the most impression thing, in your opinion, existed among them?' The Horse didn't answer right away, he was silent for a moment, his eyes looking up, as if thinking. 'In my view, it was amazing!'

'And ... Why?' the Jackass wanted to know. 'I don't really know why,' replied the Horse, 'but when we are grazing together, the Seniors, always educate and guide the youth. One day, there was a Colt, told a story he had heard, and asked, what was the moral,

In ancient Rome, an Envious Man, used to be offering up his prayers to Jupiter, at the same time and in the same place, with a covetous miserable Fellow. Jupiter sent Apollo to examine the merits of their petitions, and to give them such relief as he should think proper. Apollo therefore opened his commission, and told them, that to make short of the matter, whatever the one asked, the other should have doubled. Upon this, the Covetous Man, who had a thousand things to request, forebore to ask first, hoping to receive a double quantity; for he concluded that all men’s wishes sympathized with his own. By this means, the Envious Man had the opportunity of giving vent to his malignity, and of preferring his petition first, which was what he aimed at; so without hesitation he prayed to have one of his eyes put out, by which means his companion would become totally blind.

One of our Senior, explained, 'This Fable is levelled at two of the most odious passions, which degrade the mind of man. In the extremes of their unsocial views, envy, places its happiness in the misery and the misfortunes of others, and pines and sickens at their joy; and avarice, unblest amidst its stores, is never satisfied, unless it can get all to itself, although, its insatiable cravings are at once unaccountable, miserable, and absurd.

Therefore, O my younger brothers and sisters, let us eradicate these two bad-qualities from ourselves, and hopefully, can be one of our paths, towards a Just and Civilized, civil society.'

'And how about yours?' says the Horse. 'I have nothing!' replied the Donkey. 'And ... why?' asked the Horse. 'I don't really understand why, but, I know there's a story!' The Donkey tried to express his mind. 'Tell me!' the Horse was curioused. The Donkey said, 'This is the story,

In a land, which we shall call, the Land of Nowhere, reigned a King, who, according to news seekers, had some words, they called, Legendary words.

It was started when the Journalists asked him a kind of an inquiry, and the King, to trick them, said, 'Dunno, why d'ya ask me? Wait, look at that such and such!' while moving away from them. Since then, they named those words, as the Legendary Words—a polite name, but a satire. 

These words, became the King's spell, for every occasion.

When asked why he preferred Mao Zedong rather than George Washington, he said, 'Dunno, why d'ya ask me?'

When asked about why he likes Oligarchy more than Democracy, he gave an answer, 'Dunno, why d'ya ask me?'

When asked about the Rate of Economic Growth, the answer is the same, 'Dunno, why d'ya ask me?'

When asked about why more Goods and Services are Imported, he replied, 'Dunno, why d'ya ask me?'

When asked why the Debt had been increasing, he replied with, 'Dunno, why d'ya ask me?'

When asked why Job Opportunities are open to the Foreign, especially from the White Bear, but not to Local Workers, he argued, 'Dunno, why d'ya ask me?''

And when asked how long of the Export Ban on Palm Oil will last, he exclaimed, 'Dunno, why d'ya ask me?'

Finally, when asked why the answer was such a fool, he concluded with, 'Dunno, why d'ya ask me?'

'That's what was said!' the Donkey ended his story, and the two animals from the Equidae family burst out laughing. 'Twilight is changing, let's go home,' asked the Horse.

Then the two walked home, humming,

Tiba-tiba kamu berubah

[Suddenly, you change]

Tak ada ujan, tak ada angin

[No rain, no wind]

Sakit hati, sakit

[Its hurt, heartache]

Padahal udah setia, kok diginiin?

[Though I've been loyal, but treated like this]

Abis minum apa, kok jadi begini?

[What you've been drinking of, being like this?]

Tiba-tiba kau ingin pergi

[Suddenly, you wanna go]

Kesurupan apa, kok aneh begini?

[What a trance, it's so weird?]

Tak kusangka, ke lain hati *)

[I didn't expect, move to another heart]

Before she go, the Moon wrapped up with, "Dunno, why d'ya ask me?' ... And Allah knows best."
