So, i finished my 2000 words mythical tale using metaphore essay assignment. (but i wrote only 1900 words, ahaha!) do enjoy it and leave comments ya! this story is based on my own life. so yeah...



Once upon a time, about 100 years ago in a village called Kampung Empat Tingkat, lived a very lonely boy named Mat Malas Bin Malaun. Both of his parents has passed away drowning in the Hungry River situated at the neighboring village a couple of moons ago. Since his parents have passed away, he was left alone to stay in the gigantic murky house.



One day as he was on the way home from visiting the river that swallowed his parents, he stumbled upon two cats who were quarreling by the roadside. He quickly ran towards the cats to stop the fight. "Hey take it easy. What are you guys fighting for?" asked Mat. Both cats quickly stopped quarrelling and sat on their four feet. One of the cats was white and clean, quite small in size and cute looking. While, the other one was in black color, in bigger size and looked quite fierce.



Looking at both of them, an idea popped into his mind. That mind, which was to bring both of them back home as he don't have any company at home now. On the way back home, the cats kept quarrelling on each other. Thus, Mat had to continuously ask them to stop quarrelling. As they reached home, Mat poured some milk for them in one round bowl. And again, the cats started to quarrel over the milk. Therefore, Mat had to give them in two separate round bowls of milk, for them to drink peacefully.



Mat was a bit relieved with the arrival of the two cats at his house. At least, he has a company to cure his loneliness from now on. He decided to name the two cats. For the black one, he named him as Beebo. For the white one, he named her as Weebo. The name popped to his mind spontaneously like hot pop corns in a pop corn popper at TGV cinemas.



After the cats finished their milk, Mat decided to start cutting the grass on his lawn that his late mother has been nagging about and wished him to cut before she passed away.



As soon as he got in to his lawn, he was as shocked as an ape to see the sky-scraping grass. It was about to reach his one-storey house's roof. The grass kept on growing each and every day. It was as if the grasses do not want Mat to do anything else except from just only cutting them.



Looking at the condition of his lawn, he became unmotivated and decided to go on with his favorite past time. He just lied down on the floor with his open mouth started to spell countless amount of letter Z. Beebo, the black cat lied down by his side did the same thing. Weebo went on top of Mat's chest and meowed endlessly. She wanted to give Mat a spirit to wake up and do his work. After a number of Zs spelled, Mat woke up to the sound of countless meows from Weebo.



Mat felt a sudden kick on the butt and woke up and washed his dirty face. Beebo continued his snoring while Mat and Weebo headed to the lawn. As Mat was cutting the grass using the spear, Weebo walked by his side and kept on cheering to Mat's hard work. Mat felt very happy and worked hard to finish clearing the whole lawn.



Halfway through the completion, Beebo woke up and came to the lawn bringing a ball. He kicked the ball to Mat as he was asking him to play ball with him. Mat's intention to finish mowing the lawn on that day was distracted. He put down his spear and played with Beebo. Weebo on the other hand was upset and sat alone by the side of the lawn.



The next day, early in the morning, as usual it's very hard for Mat to wake up early like the other civilized human beings. Weebo came to the rescue by licking his face with her spiky tongue. Weebo succeeded to wake him up and leaded him to start working.



Again Mat was shocked with the extreme growth of the sharp green creatures on his lawn. They climbed the clouds ladder higher each and everyday. It was getting higher and it seems like a skycrapper. Yet, Weebo came running towards him and give him a cheer, "Go! Go! Chaiyo! Aja aja fighting!" continuously without feeling tired. The cheers from Weebo reminded him to work harder.



Mat felt some kind of energy entered his body. He imagined himself as a warrior equipped with a sword, who's about to safe a princess in the forbidden castle across a jungle of gigantic thorns.



He started slashing the thorns while riding a strong white horse. The white horse, which is actually Weebo in Mat's imagination, was running proudly while Mat slashes all the nasty sharp thorns to pieces.



But, again the evil sides of mat's company, the black cat named Beebo always persuade Mat to stop working halfway. Beebo came and said, "Why not we enjoy the view of the village before start working. Then, you can continue your work after having the breathtaking views"



The short morning walk turned from ten minutes up to ten hours walk in that gabba gabba land. Then, Mat became really tired. When he reached home, Weebo saw him snoring on the floor. And when he came back home, Weebo saw him snoring on the floor. Weebo tried to wake him up but he was not moved at all, even an inch. So, there it goes again - a day same as other days where Mat did not finished the work he ought to do.



The next day, as usual Weebo woke Mat from his dreamland but Beebo pushed Weebo away. Beebo and Weebo quarreled but Mat didn't hear anything as if both of his ears were covered with cotton buds. One of Weebo's legs got injured because of Beebo's sharp long nails. She then had to give up and lie down on the floor. Beebo kept on lying on Mat's chest. Mat's dreaming became longer and longer like an endless bus ride from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Terengganu.



Beebo's satanic mind suddenly popped with a devilish plan to hide Mat's spear to where he least expect place. When Weebo was not aware, he quickly took the spear and went outside to hide it. Weebo realized about what happened around her but she couldn't run after Beebo because of her injured leg. After awhile, Beebo came back into the house with an innocent smile.



Weebo grab Mat's hand and pull him out from his dream wonderland. Mat opened his 500 kilogram eyes and took his cowboy bath like the speed of a lightning. He began searching for his lost spear. He searched for it all over the place but couldn't find it. He then asked Beebo and Weebo where is his one and only cutting tool that was inherit by his late father.



Beebo pointed his finger to Weebo and accused that Weebo was the one who hid the spear. Weebo was speechless and don't know what to do. Mat was so mad and heated like the fries been fried at Makanlah food court. Without much thinking, he scolded Weebo and asked her to go outside. Weebo was so sad and poured some clear drops from his two green eyes. She was so sad with Mat's act and decided to walk away.



Mat and Beebo then lied down on the floor and have a chat about how it'd be wonderful if the grass can be cleared in a blink of an eye without even cutting it. Then, Mat kept on dreaming about how nice if he could conquer the world without having to gain a lot of enemies like Pak Joshbush who was living across the universe.



After several days of doing nothing, while Beebo was sleeping Mat decided that he should go and take a walk in the village alone to look at the village girls that are sweet as candy. So he walked and he walked in circles like riding a merry go round.



Mat stumbled upon Weebo which was walking alone. He decided he should forgive her. Furthermore, he can afford to buy a lot more spears but he's just being a cheapskate all this while. He then approached Weebo.



Weebo started to open her story. Mat felt very guilty for scolding Weebo. He also realized that Beebo has been making him a lazier person just like a cow since his existence in his life. They went to Pak Sabit's house to buy a new pair of spear. On the way back home, Weebo gave Mat a brainwash and also dry cleaning about his lazy life. She wanted to motivate him to be a better person. Mat felt like he just woke up from a long period of depression. He was very motivated this time He also built strong walls around him to keep away all the laziness bacteria and also Beebo's distractions away from his working concentration.



When they reached home, Mat straight away mowed his lawn. Weebo cheered for him. She can see that Mat is really determined this time, so she helped him with his work. As usual, Beebo came to flood the dry land and spoil the day. But this time Mat was not even moved a bit with Beebo's trick. He focused on his assignment to clear the lawn bald. The walls around Mat's body are as strong as the knight's armor during the dungeon and dragons ages.



The next day, Beebo tried different tricks to stop Mat's from making his late mother only wish to come true. He tried the play ball trick, the morning walk trick and the soft and yummy pillows trick. All his trial failed due to the strong shield around Mat's body and mind.

Mat was fully motivated and changed like a leaf turned over, from lazy to hardworking. From 24 hours snoring to 8 hours snoring, from cowboy bath to buffalo bath. He just ignored Beebo day after day and he managed to control the growth of the grass each day. It seems like the grass obeyed and behaved themselves like kindergarten kids being scold by their teacher.



A few days passed and failures by failures faced by Beebo in distracting Mat's attention. He gave up. He decided to find other human being to become his partner.



One fine morning while the sun was climbing the clouds ladder, Mat and Weebo woke up and found out that Beebo is nowhere to be seen. A few days passed and Beebo is still nowhere to be seen. Since Mat realized that Beebo was just a pain in the backbone, he felt relieved that Beebo is gone from his life. Weebo went on living with Mat.



He also realized what happened to Weebo, Beebo and him make he learnt a precious lesson that he will never realized if the two cats never came into his life. He was thankful that Weebo motivated him to be a better person.



The moral of the story is everyone must try to kick their bad habits and negative sides to live more positively and get their works done. It's up to each of us to motivate ourselves and get rid of 'Beebo' in our life which is our laziness and other negatives sides that we think we should get rid of.



We also shouldn't accuse other people without prove. It's safe to get all evidence first before making any conclusion. Like in this tale, Mat accused Weebo of doing something she didn't do. How would we feel if we're in Weebo's shoes?
