Parents- A Fable

Parents- A Fable

Once upon a time- [I write this so you know it is an original fiction fable-] two boys graduated high school. One was named Scree and the other was named Windol. Scree married his girlfriend Glas because his close friend windol dared him to ask her if she would marry. Glas was happy that her long-time friend finally showed commitment.

Soon Glas was pregnant with her first child. she was very happy but windol was very jealous. he had no girl friend and no wife and no child and no interest to commit to anyone.

he dared scree to cut his baby's left cheek.

scree was horrified at the idea of cutting his baby. but windol pressured him and called him a chicken if he would not

scree waited until right after the birth and when the nurse handed him the baby he slashed at the baby's cheek with a plastic knife.

the nurse tried to jump back but was not fast enough and the baby's cheek was cut.

evil horrible act.

when the doctors came and accused the father his defense was ready: "I see no difference between my authority as parent to circumcise my baby and this cut, if I may cut my baby with circumcision with no issue of violence nor saexual abuse, certainly a cheek wich has no issue of said abuse, is even less severe."

the moral is: although we hope no court would agree, it is difficult to isolate the difference between cutting a healthy baby just to remove something healthy in circumcision, and the violent attack in the fable. both seem equally evil. - is the difference that the child did not actively consent?

that is the same

is the difference that both parents did not consent?

i can change the parable to "he dared both parents and they agreed to cut the baby's cheek" does that change the issue? if both parents agree to do something evil, then it is still evil.

so what is the difference?

the one who insists on cutting jewish babies shows he is a jew-hater and it is a trick to call "protecting jewish babies" an anti-semite.

   fable 2 similarly when trying to interrogate a suspect who will not talk-

if it is not "cruel treatment" to circumcise a healthy baby, then do it to the interrogated-suspect?

gasp! there must be a difference but what? if it IS cruel to an adult then an infant has the same right and not fewer rights!

if the suspect complains after the surgery we can say "some doctors claim that there are health benefits and it is routine to do the same to many babies in the US and Israel and muslim countries so what is the difference?"

it is difficult for me to isolate and identify what the difference is.

Is the difference that parents agree to perform circumcision?

parents who agree to cut their child's cheek would be punished - wouldn's they?

perhaps there is no difference?

an adaptation of Lois Lenski's The Wind

:

through the window a strong wind blew

it blew so hard the papers flew!

whooshing that strong wind really blew

i feared that i would be blown too

papers scattered across the floor

papers kept moving out the door

i never saw such wind before
they all blew out- the wind blew more!

   note: sometimes i adapt an original to improve it but this one i enjoyed the original.

try to find it. [i dare not copy it here.]

kind or pride 6 conclusion

until now
one daughter knirb was kind and was blessed but the other was proud and acted selfish and was cursed
when ma-foyd saw her daughter's curse she was terrified and ran from the house and thought "This is her sister's fault! she caused this problem! when i see her I will beat her until my hand is tired!" but then she noticed a handsome man and she forgot everything because she only wanted to be near that man.
meanwhile spord the poor child sat on the floor crying that a beetle had come from her mouth and decided she must leave the city. she went to hide herself in the forest.
A prince "who was returning from hunting" saw her and wanted to be near her despite the fact that she was crying. he asked her why she was crying.
embarrassed spord lied: "my mother threw me out of the house" she was relieved that no beetle appeared this time and she promised she would never say a mean word again.

The king's son fell in love with her and soon he felt like she was very careful not to say mean words and that pleased him even more. spord felt that her gift was worth more than knirb's magic gem because now she was humbled and spoke nice and found favor to marry a prince! that was better!
the prince was pleased and gave her many gifts and they were kind to each other. the prince named henry took her to the palace of the king his father henry 5, where they married.
meanwhile knirb was also kind to people and every beautiful word was a precious gem and she had many friends because people enjoyed being around her pleasant words. many men wanted to marry her but she soon discovered that each one only wanted her gems from greed and she hoped she would find a man who loved her for herself. [she would meet a certain hunter who was not greedy but that is not this story]
meanwhile ma foyd was attracted to the man and when she heard he was already married she was so angry that she ran to the woods and climbed a tree to throw herself and kill herself which is a bad evil thing to do! before she jumped a hunter thought he saw an animal in the tree...
the end

let the more violent succeed?

people do not like to hear political views that are different from their own

silence and passive when there is a threat leads to defeat

we can learn from nature

when chimpanzees "hunt" red monkeys the father monkey sees the chimps gathering around the tree and is not passive

he is near his "wife" and baby and when a chimp comes near he is violent 

why? 

to protect from violence

the brave little monkey jumps at the larger chimp amd pushes it 

to try to protect his family

the larger chimp throws it to the ground and eats the baby monkey

tell the defender to be passive? because of evil violence?

we westerners do not comprehen the ideas of arab culture

the druze who live among the muslims do understand and when there is a threat they have uses live ammunition 

when that was not enough they knew that they must use more powerful weapons

a fragmentation grenade

that brought silence for a few hours

 we musty learn from the druze what the muslims are attempting and defend ourselves with great power

if not the muslims who are trying to preform a revolution against the zionist government will grow to the dimensions of the 1776 american revolution against king george

the fact that there are arab knesset members should cause the muslims to say represent us WITHIN the israeli government

instead the arab israel-parliament members join the protest of revolution against the israeli government

what other government would ignore people who attempt a revolution?

until now

a widow 'Foyd' loved another woman  'plyn' and invited her to cuddle

after they cuddled for awhile the hostess offered some books to her guest to read.they both began reading but plyn began to think about what they had just done

on one hand she had enjoyed it and had done everything naturally, yet she felt that she needed her privacy.

so plyn said "foyd we should talk" and what followed is the common dialogue of separating: from the reasons to the anger

finally foyd realizing she could not convince her lover to stay screamed "GET OUT".

as plyn left spord came home

ma foyd was in an upset mood and demanded to see her ability to produce jewels by saying "did you go to the spring as i told you?"

spord tried to avoid confrontation by lying and said yes ma i gave water to the old lady

LIAR THERE ARE NO JEWELS IN YOUR MOUTH!! hollered the frustrated and irritated mother

spord also lost her composure and said "you are a cruel selfish woman never thinking of how i feel" and those ugly words turned into a beetle! that scurried across the floor

ma foyd screamed in horror!

and ran from the house!

meanwhile knirb left her new house and met plyn her ma's friend and they had a friendly chat in which plyn explained that she had separated from knirb's mother.

outside ma foyd tried to calm herself she had expected more jewels and instead ugly beetles came from her daughter's mouth

certainly this was knirb's fault she blamed the daughter that she had always despised

suddenly something caught her eye

a man with such a handsome face she desired strongly to be near him. it was love at first sight-

was it just because she was desperate from separating? she asked herself but she sincerely wanted to be near this man!

to be continued...

kind or pride 4

until now one daughter was kind and was blessed now the second daughter is being mean to the same fairy! 

"not even one grain of rice! that is so extreme surely you do not mean that!" the fairy said soothingly

"I didn't come here to serve anyone!" she announced frankly 

"You are rude!" scolded the fairy without getting angry and then she said the magic spell.

"go away" shouted spord and added an awful word that if i would write i would be accused of obscenity.

as the ugly word left spord's dirty mouth it became an ugly beetle which fell into her rice!

spord cussed and as she reached to pick the beetle out the word had added a second beetle and she pulled to off her rice.

"are you happy that this happened to me" she holler-asked the fairy

i am not angry i just need you to learn a lesson!

spord imagined what would happen if she went home like this

ma would ask if she went to the fountain and she would talk beetles! i cannot return home like this!

she did not comprehend the great love of her mother but her mother would simply have blamed the other sister knirb, who is the cause, it would give ma an excuse to give a beating to that girl!

meanwhile

knirb had walked to the same market to look for a jeweler. finally she found a shop and said "i have some jewels to sell" and she held her hand by her mouth but no jewel came out!

the shop owner - Mr carn eyed her suspiciously and said i do not buy gems

knirb was scared that her gift had ended. she felt embarrassed and apologized for troubling him and her kind words became a sparkling diamond.

"my word!" exclaimed carn. he thought he would like to sell a stone like that

knirb put the diamond in her pocket and turned to leave because he would not buy a gem yet she saw a stunning ring with two red rubies around a blue sapphire and said perhaps i can do a trade in?

the jeweler said "i must first study the diamond" and she handed him the diamond.

when he looked through the magnifying glass he saw it was great quality and said excitedly yes! i mean i do not buy but your idea for a trade in is fine i will of course give you the difference!

so she picked out the ring and recieved many gold coins from the honest merchant who said "as long as they are not stolen i will buy from you!"

she politely said good bye and her kind words became another gem.

with the coins she was able to get a house to live in away from her ma who made her work so hard! 

spord ate her rice and carrots silently when the store owner said to leave she did not want to go home and she feared to say anything to the cook for fear that she would speak beatles.

silently she left and wandered the streets and she saw a boy. he was attractive she liked the cute way he walked and his erect back reached up to hic broad shoulders and she hurried over and said kindly hello sweet thing-

and then realized to late that the beetles would come out but they did not leave her mouth.

so she continued would you escortr me home?

certainly said the boy...
