I believe that many people who have passed through Must know the story Definitely a shepherd boy.
This short story got a fleeting thought from that story.
It just occurred to me that people didn't believe the words of the shepherd boy who was a liar.
Suspiciousness that they will be tricked again and that they will become fools, right?
But if there is someone who is willing to believe The story wouldn't end with all the cute sheep being eaten. And the shepherd boy will learn his lesson as well.
Even so This story It teaches good things like how you shouldn't lie clearly.
It's a good story that children shouldn't use as a role model (hahaha).
Stories of 'stupid' people
In another world full of technology mixed with magic. There is also a story of a young man. It is an oral tradition. The young man was a magical scientific researcher. Often traveling around the world to collect samples, he and his team encountered many things. Including living things that have been experimented on and altered in an unnatural way.
On one trip, his team encountered a subject who had survived an illegal test base, although the subject was still breathing. But it was like there was no soul, no desire to stay on earth anymore.
The young researcher took good care of the subject. By bringing him back home to take care of him closely. In the morning, cook food and bring it down to eat. When finished, take him to take a shower. Dress up in brightly colored clothes. When it was time to go to work, he prepared various interesting things for the other party to try and teach how to contact us in case of an emergency.
The subject looked at him with an expressionless expression, neither answering nor denying. The young researcher smiled gently and reminded him of various things before leaving the house.
The story continued like this for a week when the subject finally spoke.
“Why do you have to help me?” he asked with emotionless eyes. The researcher smiled back.
“Isn't it the right thing to do?” the person asked, looking at the steaming rice plate.
“Letting me die would be more helpful.” The researcher sat down across from him. He's still smiling.
“I think that kind of thing is not helping, but helping you escape your problems and making you want to live is helping.”
“I don't want to live,” the subject repeated.
“I will make you want to live,” the researcher said firmly.
“Even if I have to do it for the rest of my life?” The subject looked up and made eye contact for the first time. The researcher smiled and nodded.
“It's better than letting you die,” a voice replied.
"daft"
One morning the researcher left the house to go to work and everything remained the same as usual. He went to the lab at 11:00 a.m. to see the changes in his research. In the evening, when it was time to finish work, he clocked out. As for work, the evening research department took care of him as he was walking out of the building.
The phone rang. It's the number of someone at home...that subject.
“I will die,” he said softly. "I'm going to die," and the call ended.
The researcher was so shocked he rushed home.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a person sitting in front of the door. In his hand he still held a communication tool.
“You!” Startled, he stood still for a long time. before walking closer Found everything to be normal.
“You are okay.” The researcher smiled in relief amidst those expressionless eyes.
“Let's go inside. I'll make dinner for you.” The researcher gently pulled the still sitting man's arm and he got up as well.
Nothing happened The subject did not commit suicide...
The next day at the same time in the evening. The phone rang.
“I will die,” the same sentence as before was sent through the communication device. The researchers rushed home and found someone waiting at the door.
The next day and the next …until one month
The researcher was still rushing home when he received the phone call, he smiled with relief. When the subject was seen to be normal, and took him into the house for dinner.
“Why are you still rushing back? Since you knew you were tricked?” the experimenter asked while sitting at the dinner table.
“Don't you feel stupid that you've been tricked over and over again?” The person asked gave the same smile before answering.
“I'm willing to be stupid like this. It's better than pretending to be smart. You'll regret it if it actually happens.” The subject looked at the spoon in his hand. before moving to look at the face of the person sitting opposite
“Really stupid.”
The next day was a clear day. Lab experiments The researchers thought he would cook a special meal when he got home, but he wasn't sure if he had enough vegetables to make it. Maybe he had to stop by the market.
And then the phone rang at the right time, but there was no sound.
“Is something wrong?” the researcher asked.
“I'm fine,” the other replied. “That's it,” and the call was cut off.
The young researcher looked down at the phone and laughed. He thought that today's menu would be really special.
In the quiet house, there was not even the sound of machinery. The subject's body was motionless in the bathroom, the bathtub overflowing with water. In his hand was a silver knife, and in the other hand was a wristwatch that someone had bought for him. He was looking at this as a bet on himself. His life has long since ended.
But someone else picked it up and wouldn't let him throw it away. All this time things seemed so precious that he was terrified, afraid to hope for life and it would be ruined. Therefore, he would not bet his life on himself, he would not bet his life on that fool. Whether his life will end today or he should continue.
The clock ticked closer to the normal time. The fool is about to get home. If that guy doesn't come back in time, he will consider himself to leave. and admitted that he was smart
…and hope that no one will be deceived by that stupidity…
Tee-----
The time alarm sounded and he looked steadily at the clock. My mind was very calm...Finally I knew the consequences. …The knife in his hand was turned over. It was so shiny that it reflected the smiling face.
Farewell to this cruel and cold world.
So cool!
The blade penetrated deeply and was difficult to remove. The subject looked on in shock. Someone walked up to him. Hug him all over
“I have returned,” the researcher said. The subject remained stunned.
“Why…” The researcher pulled away and looked at the person who was beginning to have a look on his face. Emotions can be seen
“I hurried back because I realized I had enough vegetables to make a special meal for you,” the researcher smiled.
“You wouldn't deny it. to stay and eat food cooked by me Forever?” the person asked, holding out his hand. to help pull people on the ground The subject grips the watch tightly in his hand. before sending the hand that used to hold the knife to shake the hand of the person who had sent him to help
“You fool,” he heard the righteous laugh. The two of them walked out, leaving behind the knife that had been stuck on the ground by a supernatural force.
And this is a story told in a research center.
“Which fool is the first to tell this story?” An angry voice sounded from the research room. After listening to the story, the other listener had a smile on his face.
"oh! The storyteller claims to be a neighbor. It's in the undercover observation unit.” After that, there was the sound of pounding on the table.
“You stupid person!!”
Short story with no character names (haha)
In fact We often face so many teasing and lies that it makes us bored, annoyed, and used to it and don't want to pay attention.
But Ood wants to say If that person is important to you Don't neglect it. If one day it becomes true I will definitely be very sad.
That day I didn't run back to find him.
Even so, it's best not to lie. Building trust with each other is a good thing and it's better to maintain it.
