Ricky Tuftyhead VS Beauty and the Beast

When we are talking stories about true love between ugly and beauty, most people always reminded with beauty and the beast

                                    (note: you know what this is already, repetitive is unneeded.)

Where a beautiful girl fallen in love with a beast after she has been forced to stay with beast, the beauty fall for his gentleness, and they happily together. The end.

This is where most people said 'What a wonderful tale.' but not for me.

Ever since I was small (The time my mom read me bedtime story), I don't like Beauty and the Beast (except Disney movie, they are legendary) because I have read the best love story about ugly and beauty in Ricky Tuftyhead

     (note: Ricky tuftyhead meet the princess)

For those who don't want spoiler, here the link to read,
http://books.google.com.my/books?id=ey4pUNE8NkMC&pg=PA70&lpg=PA70&dq=ricky+tufty+head&source=bl&ots=SruxQT__T_&sig=UPsCO8E99lgKjwukbTzJVwrqoeA&hl=en&sa=X&ei=s_MVU-7vO8mKrQfhyoGADQ&sqi=2&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=ricky%20tufty%20head&f=false

For those who has read or too lazy to read, allow me to summarize what this story is about.

This is the story of Ricky who is ugly but smart. The fairies has said that Ricky has the ability to give his intelligent to whomever he loves. At the same time, there is beautiful princess but stupid. The fairies also said that the princess can give her beauty to whomever she loves, but her beauty will be halved. Because the princess is too stupid, she is very sad, until Ricky said that he can make her smart with one promise : marry him (he also give the princess time to reconsider for a whole year). Since she is stupid, she agree directly. Once she became smart, she regret it and reconsider the marriage. Now this part is what I love the most : Ricky Tuftyhead ask the princess if she hate any part of him, but the princess said that she loves everything about him. Hence he then said "If that is so, you have made me the most handsome man in the world." (Now that is true love.) Even if it is true or not Ricky turn handsome like what fairy said, it does not matter anymore, as they are live happily ever after (the end).

I like this story more than beauty and the beast because:

  • Ricky does not force princess to live with him, instead he do like what intelligent man do
  • The princess has a choice to accept or to decline (as only brutes doesn't give freedom)
  • No need a kiss to turn the guy into beauty or to prove the true love
  • This tale can even happen in real life (true story)
Although I wish the author of this story can make a happy ending for other character, this story really touching my heart and I wish somebody can make a cartoon movie out of this. People need to know that there are a lot of stories that better than usual fairy tales.

God's Wrath

In the night, the full moon appeared after hiding from the cloud. 

It is at its peak. 

The land sung the silent song, without knowing the existence of the life on the sky.

A magnificent creation is flying beside the cloud, moving without direction.

The moon watches the creation. It is a castle, move without using any logical reason.

Why does it floating? Though the moon, and it shines brightly to discover the castle.

Slowly, something is moving at the castle. And it falls down.

It is the brick that belong to the castle. 

The brick that holds the castle slowly falls down.

And he knows that, as he becomes one with the castle, and his sight can even see the castle that is falling.

He is inside the castle, looking at the moon that shines brightly to watch him who holds this castle.

And as he sees the castle is starting to crumble and fall, he can’t believe how beautifully it is destroyed, as it is design to fall according to god’s wish.

He smiles, knowing that his ending is near. For he knows what he has done is something that deserves this ending.

As more and more brick falling, the more he remembers everything that starts this ending.

Before, he is not the owner of this castle, but a man who thirst for power that human should never seek, the power that need to include the devil’s contract.

The devil tells him his ending will be god’s wrath, but he does not care the consequences that befall on him.

As he manages to obtain the power, the devil bid him farewell, leaving him to do it as he see it fits.

He then obtains everything he wants, until he gets this castle and other things that human normally want and he keep on taking everything. With the power that he own, people around him wants his power and tries to take it from him, giving him more reason to keep his power.

He then got tired with human’s whim and annihilates everything that bothers him.

Without realising it, he lost everything except the castle. But why? Why does he not get what he really wants? Why does he suffer for this? And many more question come to him, until he asks himself, is this the god's wrath?

It was then he realise, everything that he keeps on asking is answered. God forbids the power that comes from the devil as he knows what the devils have always wants human to suffer. It was his ignorance that causes himself to suffer.

And thus, he can’t control the power he has anymore. He has united with the castle and floating without any direction.

But he does not sad, as with this, he can see for himself the wrath that god has made for him.

The castle began to crumble, and more bricks falling down.

As he watches this destruction, he mesmerized by its beauty.


And finally, he falls down, leaving him without any power to help himself.

I Love You!!!

When we are born, we are taken care by protecting us against danger, keeping us from hunger and sheltering us with comfortable homes by our parents or guardians. They taking care of us without whining or give up although we are a helpless creature, unable to do anything except crying.

By the time we manage to stand up with our two feet and walk away from them, we are taught by our friends, enemies, and surroundings how this world works and how to live with it.

From this moment, 

Have you ever wondered how far you have come to this present if not because of help you received when you are helpless?

Thus, I have realized that from the moment I was born, I was loved. 

I manage to survive until now because I have been loved.

I manage to overcome the hurdle I have faced because love support me. 

My life have ups and downs, I have enemies and friends, however I do not sad nor despised, because this is love that I have been receiving!!

Therefore I want to tell everyone, everything and any existence that existed in this world...

I LOVE YOU!!!!

YOU HAVE GIVEN ME LOVE THAT TEACHES ME TO BE WHAT I AM

NEVER FOR A MOMENT I SHOULD BE HATING FOR ALL THE LOVE THAT I RECEIVED

OOH, THAT IS WHY I AM GIVING LOVE

BECAUSE





Shrieeek!!! Pong!! Kang Dong!!!!!!! *sound effect of loudspeaker destroyed*

Smash!!!! CRASH!! *sound effect of smashed things like mirror and vase and such*

James!! How many times I told you stop singing this late at night!!! And when are you going to pay your rent???!!!

LANDLADY!!!

WHAT?!

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

GET LOST ALREADY!!!!!

......................................................................................................................................................

(James, walking with a broken mike and ukulele)

Ohh, why can't she accept my love(crying)....

Responsibilities

"Mother, I want that little kitty," ask me while I'm pointing my hand toward the little cat inside the glass box at the pet shop.

"No." reply mother without any hesitation.

"Please, I can take care of it."

"No." Again, without any moment of though.

"Then what can I do so I can keep it?"

"Good question. " And we walk to supermarket inside the area where they sell flower's seed.

"How about we make a deal?"

"Deal?"

"I give you the chance to pick any seed that you like. If you manage to raise a flower until it blooms, then you can take the pet that you like, deal?"

"Alright! You better keep your promise!"

"Okay, I will."

So I picked the sunflower seed.

At first, I bury the seed on the ground. "Now bloom!"

Mother shaking her head. "A flower can't bloom quickly."

"What should I do?"

"You need to water it."

So I water the seed. 3 days later, a small sprout emerged.

"I did it!"

"I can see the improvement."

I put lots of water to make it bloom quickly! But suddenly the sprout wilted.

"Why it's wilted?!"

"Because you're giving too much water."

Again, I bury the seed and water it. when the sprout come, I giving it less water than usual. The sprout is growing but it's color changing to yellow and died out.

"Not again!!"

"You give water too little."

"Mother, I had enough! This isn't going anywhere! I don't want to do this anymore!!!"

"How can you keep a pet if you can't even manage the simple living thing like this sunflower?"

"What?"

"You have to take more responsibilities when you taking care of small animal than a flower. They are a living thing, not a toy that you can play with."

"...."

After that, I dismissed the idea of wanting a pet.

From then on, I realize the weight of taking care of life and the responsibilities that I must shoulder.

Once upon a time

There was a Princess named Farah, who is currently on a castle, waiting to be saved

Farah: You?! What are you doing in my story?!!

I'm the one who narrate it, give me a credit, sis

Farah: Fine, you're in. But don't forget to add handsome guy.

Waiting for another tale unfold by princess Farah

Farah: Yay! a continution!!

Traffic jam.

There was once where I ride my car in a very heavy traffic jam. I'm stuck at one place for a long time and worse, the car always trying to enter my lane.

It is very stressful, especially toward the people who didn't even give a chance for me to move.

I even had a bad though about them and wanting to curse them (don't worry, I don't).

But one day, I though that the situation where the drivers are compete with each other for the lane are quite similar to the survival of the fittest situation, and made me wonder is this our nature?

Once I though that this kind of action is wrong, I let the car that greedily wanting to take my lane passed through me. I just don't want to act greedy.

Slowly, the traffic now move more smoothly and I arrived at my destination earlier than I expected. With just a simple act, I have reduced the traffic problem.

Coincidentally, someone also had though the same thing, and I also agree with what he said.

Overall, what you give you get.
