The Incident..


"Gather around little ones.. gather around..Alright.. let Mr. Korean story you on an incident that occured out of sheer stupidity. "

And so.. the tale unfolds..

This tale happened not so long ago in a not so distant place.. It was around 12 in the night. Right before this, an idiot by the name of Jack had problems with his car. He didn't really know what was going wrong but after much consideration and evaluation, he finally noted that he was short of something - petrol. Knowing that this wasn't the 1st time that this happened, he decided to just get it over with and get to the nearest petrol station to gas up..

On the way there though, his car dies in the middle of the road. Thank the Lord it wasn't busy at all since it was the middle of the night but still, the car was parked strategically on the road blocking cars that were following from the back. Sweat trickles down his brow as he gets out of the car. Panicking, he jiggles in the lock several times before actually turning the key in it's made purpose locking the car door. Thinking fast, he looks up and sees that the nearest petrol station was only about a minute away. "No worries.It's just a short distance away right? I mean.. the people driving here should be smart enough not to crash into my car. And it would only take a second

And so, he walks towards the petrol station with determination to get it over with and get home for a good night's rest. Soon, he reaches his destination and right in front of him, pasted on the counter's seethrough window was a sign - "CLOSE AFTER 12. PLEASE COME BACK LATER".Perfect isn't it? How life is? So yes, the next petrol station was 20 minutes away. Knowing that it's either there or waiting till the next morning. Fueled with determination yet again, he continues his walk. The cool breeze that night was refreshing and evidently helpful in making the trip all the more comfortable.

After a brisk walk, he arrives. A very nice attendant was there and as he sees the boy, he knows what difficulties this idiot was facing. The attendant then fills a gasoline tank with petrol. As he finishes, he shoves it to the boy directing him on what to do. Soon, the idiot boy was walking back to his car with petrol in hand. Relieved that he was back to his car, he pours the content into the shaft that was made to serve it's duties. He turns the key.. nothing happens. He does it again. "Drat! It's not enough!". He heads back to the petrol station for a 2nd round. After much hassle and dassle, the idiot's problem was finally solved..

Now the moral of the story is, never procrastinate. One would end up being in this situation and all one can do is.. laugh. Laugh and the world would laugh at you. That's how it is.."



P.S. Do please learn from this idiot. It's a true story by the way, happened yesterday. Smile people.. or laugh.. I don't care!
