Journey to the East, or otherwise titled "hP goes to Singapore"
Once upon a time, there was
a little boy named Haido, who went around playing a pipe. Thus, everyone
he saw called him "haido the Piper". Now, people got lazy, and decided
to call him "haidoPiper" instead. So haidoPiper it was, until people started
calling the United Nations "UN", and that was when haidoPiper became a
simple hP.
Well, about the hero. Little
hP was a traveller, and he loved to see new things. He came across adventures
before, and even a park was named after him- the Hyde Park.
One day, he saw some sailors
having ale, and they talked about a place where gold was tiled abundantly
on streets.
"Aye, I thought it was the
most magnificent I'd ever see," Burped the sailor. "Gold all over."
"And where doth it be?"
Hyde asked, feeling curious.
"Little Piper, let me enlighten
your mind. That place, across the ocean yonder East, doth be most wondrous
place, that of late, been the focus of everyone's speeches. 'er name's
Singapore."
Little did he know, as the
piper sneaked away.
"As false as teeth, I tell
ye, what they doth say...."
He seeled his gang, whom
he met some time ago at Hyde Park, the park christened after him- what
glory! (hido: to be published soon, entitled "HTTP-haido goes to park-"
under Xz0ne production, on the 30th of Feb, Usual price $10, but now at
a discount of $9.999 while stocks last!) It had been Tetsu whom he left
to run the place, and YUkihiro was made the keeper, while Ken the gardener.
They lived together (because air-con was expensive), in a little (so was
land) cottage (and so was urbanization).
"Listen here, O fine lads!"
He chirped.
"What, thou dear boy?" Ken
asked, reflecting upon hyde's size as well as his ego.
"Yonder across the sea,
gold paves the roads!" hP repeated what he had heart, with his eyes shining
like the subject of his speech. "Pipers doth travel all, to important importing
places, aye."
"The sea doth be wrathful,
and hath drowned countless sailors in sorrowful tides," warned tetsu, whom
hP usually listened to. However, this time, hP was adamant.
"Yonder gold lies. I shall,
in the honour of a traveller, venture far and wide, and no peril shalt
deter mine smiling face, for I am sailing in the delight of tour." He said
bravely, but immediately an image of a shark swimmed in his mind.
"hP's wright." Piped up
Ken, whose cigarette puffed out more than usual this time. "I shan't live
this life without seeing the gold once, for it ist too much for mine mind
to bear."
"What sayeth thou, Yukihiro?"
tetsu asked, at a desperate level towards the buffer state.
"Me thinks Ken doth speaks
eloquently," Yukihiro spoke, his voice quiet and calm. "Yonder sea makes
mine idea of fortune worthwhile. Perils shall but kindle this spark of
delight, into a raging fire. Mine courage, immature, shalt blossom to a
ferocious lion, as Good,when encountering Evil, shalt fortifiy to holiness."
"O, Quaint, it aught be,"
tetsu sighed, "I permit this voyage, upon the thought that mine eyes shalt
witness thy safety and yonder gold."
"O, that aught not pose
a threat," hyde announced, draping an apron over Ken's (flat) chest. "hen
Shalt mind this cottage and mine honour of a park."
"me... Me?" Ken's eyes grew
wide and round as he stuttered.
"Aye, who better britith
o'er gardener, O sweet?" hyde purred, another reason for "hP". "Yukihiro,
upon his choice, doth mind you."
"I yearn in the absence
of ken," yukihiro murmured, "Yet the desire of gold in the East outweighs
mine worry of Ken."
"What?!" Blustered Ken,
"Thou heartless beasts, deserting packs, O leave me alone in thy trap?"
"Oh shush," hyde quickly
cut in, "thou aught gladden for thy safety. AWay in perilous waters we'll
sail, in the name of adventure and glory, aught end in a shark's belly.
Those evils art starved."
Upon hearing that, yukihiro's
and tetsu's faces both turned a pale shade of green.
