Today, on the way to school, I saw a pack of wild monkeys. I waved. They waved back. I stuck out my tongue. They stuck out their tongues. I started to run. They started to run too. Then I stopped running. They stopped too. I jumped and threw a tantrum. They jumped and threw tantrums too! Angered, I screamed at them. They, unable to scream, howled back at me. Shocked, I backed away and fell into a hole. The monkeys fell into the hole with me! Yikes!
The monkeys who fell into the hole with me
“What’s with you?! Are you copy-monkeys?!”
“Yes, we are the last descendants from the Planet Kopi.”
“I see. Bilingual monkeys, eh?” I commented.
“Dear citizens of Earth, do not underestimate us monkeys of Planet Kopi! We have come with an evil plan to usurp your kings!” said the monkey who was slightly bigger than the others. He ended his evil speech with a signature roar of victory. “Muahahahahahaha!!!!”
Muahahahahahaahaha~!!!
Then the second monkey nudged him at the ribs. It whispered to him, “I think you gave too much information.”
The bigger monkey cleared his throat noisily and began to say with authority, “Enough of the small talk! Now, human, lead the way to your king!”
“Never! I shall never betray my king! Don’t you know who I am? I am the Dark Knight of this country! I have been disguising myself as a stupid school boy for this very day to come, my friend,” dark clouds started rolling with thunder, as I introduced myself as the Dark Knight.
I am the Dark Knight
“I have served the country for many centuries. Planet Kopi? I’ve never heard of that! Who do you think you are? Just copy-monkeys! Humans have all the knowledge you’ve never seen at that whatever Kopi Planet you were talking about! If you’re good enough, why are you all still on the street copying people’s actions?”
I realised that this was a better way to escape. Mother always tells me safety first so this was what I have to do. I got to make those dumb monkeys believe that I’m really the Dark Knight. See? That’s a good thing to read lots of Dark Knight Legends! I noticed that the monkeys were discussing among themselves. Good, that must have believed what I said, I thought.
But then, they turned at me and looked at me fiercely. Oh no… they are smarter than I thought they were. “You think we can’t read your mind?” the smallest monkey said. Great, smart ass monkeys.
The mind reader
“We have the ability to read others’ minds. We can even burp!”
“Buuurrrppp…!” they burped loudly.
Ew! The smell was foul! I felt my head spinning. The air was filled with a thick, pungent smell of coffee. Monkeys drink coffee?
“Hey! Tea tastes nicer than coffee! What say we get out of here and I buy you all a nice cup of 3 layer Teh C Peng and we make friends, huh?” I offered.
“Never! We will never betray our almighty Kopi O!” said one monkey.
“LONG LIVE KOPI O!!!” yelled the other monkeys.
The Almighty Kopi-O
Stupid monkeys, I thought. At that thought, the monkeys all glared at me. Oh right. They could read my mind!
“Fine! I give up! I shall just sit here and sulk! I want to have my morning tea!” I whimpered. I then retired to a corner where I sulked. I started thinking about tea. Ahh… the sweet aroma of Teh C…
3 layer Teh C Peng is the best!
“Noooo! Stop! Stop thinking about tea!” the monkeys begged.
Oh! So the monkeys were afraid of tea! Hah! I could beat them now! I quickly made myself think of all the teas available in the world. Ohh… Boh Teh… Teh O… Lipton… Mayang… Cameron tea… Teh Ceylon… Dilmah… Earl Grey…
Clockwise: Ceylon tea, Boh teh, Earl Grey and Lipton tea
And then....
I opened my eyes. The monkeys were gone! YAY! I jumped triumphantly. My friends were never going to believe this. I might just be the next Dark Knight after all.
Epilogue: The monkeys returned to their Planet Kopi and went against their king. Stupid, they called their king, for holding something so weak such as kopi as their almighty. And so, the Planet Kopi was overthrown and is now, holding something else as their king - wine. It's harder to find something to beat wines right? Wine is after all, high class. Right???
