Vincent was terribly sad because he had to
leave everyone who ever liked him – his mother and Sheeny. His mother was as
sick as a parrot when Vincent told her about his plan, but she could do nothing
with it, nobody is more stubborn than Vincent.
Vincent once had a guinea pig – Richard,
which was the only animal Vincent ever had. That time, he was arguing with
Sheeny if guinea pigs can swim. Vincent
was sure that they can. Sheeny didn’t share his opinion, so Vincent decided to
persuade her that guinea-pigs can swim. He decided to conduct a little experiment
that would support his hypothesis.
“C’mon Richard, we’ll show her. You see
Sheeny? He is swimming. Oh, sorry, you can’t see but I’m telling you that
Richard is swimming. Richard?! Are you okay?”
The next day, Vincent buried poor Richard
in the garden in the shade of an apple tree.
“I’m so sorry Richard; I shouldn’t have
made that stupid experiment on you. Could you forgive me?”
“-Silence-”
“I consider your answer as “yes”. Goodbye my guinea pig friend, rest in peace!”
Vincent gave the last hug to his weeping
mother and said, “Goodbye, I love you, I’ll be thinking of you mom.”
“Hold on Vincent, I’ll give you something
to eat, so that you won’t be hungry on your long journey. You know, I am a bad
cook, I would give you some cookies but I can’t bake. Here, take potatoes, it
could help.”
“Thank you mom, you are always so kind.
Goodbye and take care of you, I’ll be back soon.”
“Goodbye my only son!”
