BLESSSS YOUUUUUUU
BLESSSSS YOUUUUU
It is a story of previous times, time so previous when there was no word that could tell you how old the story was, when in jungles of mid-east Africa, there lived a herd of elephants.
The leader of the elephant named Elle had just given birth to a beautiful, male calf and everybody was happy. They all prayed that day to the lord of the elephants to grant the power and humility to him, the humility and power that were never seen before, not only in the world of elephants but the entire land mass and at night they all feasted on grass, as long as trees, to the long life of the new born. They prayed that he shall live a thousand years.
Days passed by, and the euphoria also passed with time and so passed the infancy of the baby-elephant. He has grown into a young kid now. He was the darling of the herd and then one day in the spring season when there is a fragrance of the fresh leaves and flowers, he smelt pollen and there was a sneeze – “akchiiii”. BLESSSSS YOUUUUUU - came the voice of the entire herd at once. Then another sneeze and another BLESSSS YOOUUUU and another and another……
The next day in the morning there was another sneeze and again came the word BLESS YOUUUU. It was the first time that each woken elephant was not greeted by the usual “good morning” but a different word. BLESS YOUUU seems the word of the week and the young calf had heard it so often from others that he thought it was his name, so he named himself BLESSSSS YOUUUUU.
It was 5th day of the spring when everybody said for the 100th time – BLESSSSS YOUUUUU…it was becoming a common word and no one except BLESSSS YOUUUUUU, now felt something unusual. Something unusual – he noticed had happened to this trunk. It has increased in size and it was increasing with each of his sneeze. “AAAAKKKKChooooooooo”. BLESSSSSS YOUUUUUUU. A bit longer it grew…
His mother Elle was sharing her concern with his aunt Ephan about BLESSSS YOUUUUU but was pacified when her aunt told that it was the next best thing for him. He soon will be having a trunk equal to the size of this mother and can go deeper in the sea and to a greater height on the trees. “AAAAKKKKChiooooooooo”. A bit longer it grew…
Years passed by and the arrival of spring was announced when he sneezed and heard – BLESSSSS YOUUUUUUU…His trunk has already grown longer than any elephant existing and he has also grown a pair of tusks. Now he could go deeper in the sea and higher up the trees than any other elephant including his mother. No one now has to wait for the sneeze to say, what everyone now knows to say. Whenever he sneeze, his trunk would straighten up and goes so long a distance that the herd doesn’t see after days of walking. All shrubs, plants, herbs and animals get away willingly or by the force of the trunk from its path and there comes a voice – “AAAKKKKKCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo”. BLESSSSSSSSSS YOUUUUUUUUU – came the voice. Not only from the herd of elephants but from each and every being in the animal kingdom even from far off places.
So next time, if you travel to Africa and go for a safari, look for the voice of sneeze and you know what you need to say next –
BLESSSSS YOUUUUU
