Mountain Tortoise, Monkey, Pig and other animals
No my dear reader, I am not interested in starting a zoo or whatever. It is just that my previous post about the mountain tortoise, (sua ku or one who has not experienced new things) has got me thinking about various animals of the same nature.
So here is my shot at such animals:
1) Sua ku or mountain tortoise:
He or she will go on board a plane.... "waaaaahhhhh" "waaaahhhh" here and "waaaah" "waaaaahhh" there. How to use the headphones? How to use this and that..... They are really lost because this is the first time they experience such things. I am not against such people because there is a first time for everything and you cannot pretend that you weren't a bit over-awed yourself in your first time. There was once a flight from Vietnam and the passengers did not even know how to lock the doors. So nothing against sua kus... other than better learn how to adapt soonest possible.
2) Sua Hou or mountain monkey: Ahem ahem... inclusive of yours truly who is a monkey... this creature is damned smart... so no matter how over-awed he is.... or even if it is his first time using something... he will not show that he is stumped.... He will wait in the background or pretend to be doing something, then learn how to use whatever he does not know how to use by looking and seeing how others use it... And very soon, he also knows how to use the object and shows even a proficiency in using it.... Typical example... the first time I got my tiptronic car... Did not know how to engage it at all... Fiddled around like a sua ku fora while... then managed to engage gear.... sounds really scary.... but don wori... mountain monkeys do not let other people know they do not know how to use... hahahahahaha
3) Sua Der or mountain pig: This boor is one of the worst mountain animals..... He has not seen the object before, does not know how to use it.... and is still very yayapapaya about it.... (Sillypore slang for very arrogant) He will brag that his own is better. Like for example.... a car.... If Mr. Village elder from the provincial town of Idoncare in I donknow where comes to Sillypore.... he will see many new buildings and technology.... he will brag that althoug he is from a backward town of God knows where..... and there may not be any running water... he is fully proficient in using the lift or the television.... and he will spoil it and then blame it on shoddy workmanship..... He may even ask you to give it to him to bring home since it is already spoiled and you do not need it anyway.
4) I don't know how to call a donkey in Mandarin or dialect... but the last creature is the mountain donkey: This animal is so butt stupid and or stubborn that no matter how many times you teach him to use a certain new fangled thing.... he still does not know.... Duuuhhhhhhhh...... I do not know whether to be sad or to be angry... but such people do tend to make our lives a little more interesting whenever e meet them.......
Well hope you enjoyed this little tour of our animal kingdom... if you have any more animals to add to the mountain area... please feel free to comment.
