Cough Noodles

This is a fairly stupid story about a stupid man. I picked it out from an anime show, and I forgot its title already. I would like to share this story anyway.

“Once upon a time (naks parang si Lola Basyang) there was a young stupid traveller who left his village in his quest for something we don’t know.  He had brought along food, water, jewellery and other provisions. He got lost and found a village near a forest. There was a famine ion that village, and when the people saw him, they came and begged him for his food. He had enough to supply the whole village and after a week the famine was over. But instead of giving thanks to the stranger, they wanted to covet his belongings. They knew he was gullible and used it to make him give all his possessions to them. They demanded for his jewelleries, his clothing and all the money he’s got. And they laughed and mocked him when he was left naked. He ran away because of shame. He entered the forest and cried and cried. Then suddenly monsters approached him. They said they wouldn’t hurt him if he give a part of his body to them so they would have food. The foolish man agreed and gave almost all of his body to them. Now what’s left of him was his head and his one eye. The monsters spared it, and they laughed and mocked him, instead of being grateful. They also gave him a piece of paper with largely written letters that spelled “STUPID FOOL!”  He then read it, and he smiled and told them “After all the things I gave away, none seems to come back to me. Not even a simple Thank you. This is the first time someone has given me anything! Thank you!” and he cried and cried until he died.
