Long before your ancestor’s time, legend has it that there lived a goddess whose duty was to work hand in hand with the tu di gong earth deity to ensure peace aboveground and underground. Pieces of her soul reside in every leaf bin dotting the surface of the earth.
Unfortunately, the frequent occurrence of droughts and floods roused the goddess from her deep slumber. Angered by the chaos, she demanded for its cause to be investigated. Careful not to incur her wrath, bugs, colonies of termites and worker ants scurried to dig tunnels in every nook and cranny. They whispered, gossiped and set ears on every wall.
Finally, they made a powerpoint presentation of their analysis which only had 2 words---Human Beings. The goddess’s failing memory did not help, so she propped out her textbook on primate history, only to be overwhelmed with disbelief----mortals had always been good dwellers and hardly misbehaved. The goddess refused to accept that these human beings were the real culprits behind these foolish acts.
Fuming mad, the goddess was determined to witness things with her own eyes. “Leaf bins on earth unite!” she bellowed. Lightning flashed, threatening to split the sky…thunder rumbled as if she’s never taken her dinner before and….
“POP!goes the weasel” she magically emerged from an ordinary-looking leaf bin in a quiet corner of a school, tasked with a mission to track the activities of human beings...
To be continued…
PS: Dear reader, you are taking a peek at her confidential reports!Please proceed with caution, the goddess is watching. Do remember, bugs, termites and ants and anything that respires work for her too.
Leaving footsteps on earth.
