Put Your Feet Up

There was a commotion at one joint where many people were eating and drinking.

It happened this way, an intending couple was boasting of a special surprise for each other when their love affair started.

One day, they went to a bar beach to enjoy the atmosphere of the place and have fun. When they got there, many people were also there for the same purpose and everybody was going up and down to feel the nature of that environment. Suddenly, Joey spotted her schoolmate on the beach and she was excited to see her in that area, she jumped on her neck. It is quite an age my friend, where have you been? After we left school you didn't bother to look after me. How are you?

Well, I am fine. You know the situation of the country didn't allow anybody to stay put, everyone is trying to hustle for day-to-day survival. When we were in school, we thought that things will continue to be like that, not knowing that things will change because of this, the adage of elders that says "twenty children can not play for twenty years." This implies that when we are growing up many things will happen, some will die, some will relocate to another state, and some people will get married to another person who will take them out of the country. So with all these, there's no way we won't lose contact with one another. Said Susan.

Yes, what you just said now is the truth, because the same thing will happen to me very soon. I am getting married to my husband to be Tompson and this is an opportunity to introduce him to you. Let us go and meet him, he is up there. Said Joey.

Tompson! Tompson!! Come and see Susan, my friend, the one I used to talk about all the time she is here. Said Joey.

Wow! So you are the one Joey used to talk about at home all the time. It's my pleasure to meet you. My name is Tompson and I am the chief executive officer of Finland Multinational Company which is situated in Mexico City. Please can we still hook up another time? I will ask Joey to call you when it is time. Said Tompson.

Alright, I will be expecting your invitation at any time but take care of my friend. She is dear to my heart. Said Joey.

It is my responsibility to treat her like a Queen. To be honest, I love her and there is nothing I will not use to protect and take good care of her. Said Tompson.

Susan and Joey step aside to have a female gist between themselves, when they were talking Joey confided in Susan that she had a plan to buy special things for Tompson but she does know what to buy that he would appreciate. Said Joey.

Susan suggested that if you can get him nice perfume, a pack of underwear and a men's suit. I believe that he will be shocked because he won't expect it.

When they were returning to their home, Joey asked Tompson to wait for her inside the car because she wanted to check something in the supermarket and she told the owner of the place to arrange the selected items for her through one of her staff to deliver it to a particular address and time.

The following day, they were eating the fruit and playing under the tree that was located in their compound. One person was knocking, the gatekeeper checked out who was there, and he saw a man with a parcel of items and requested to see Mr Tompson but the gatekeeper told him to wait at the entrance first and tell Tompson that somebody is looking for him.

When the gatekeeper got Tompson, he was told that he didn't expect anybody but he should let that person come in.

After they met each other, a parcel dispatcher said sir, I have a package for you and you have to append your signature here just to acknowledge that I have delivered it.

Joey cuts in. From who dear?

I don't know, but do you want to play a prank on me? If you are not the one, who deems it fit to honour me with this kind of item? As you know, I don't play around anyhow. Said Tompson.

Joey: How did you know that items are from me?

Thompson: How I will not know that you were the one who sent those things to me. Have you ever seen men sending something like this to their fellow man before? Unless they are gays. I know you want to surprise me and I appreciate your gestures toward me. Thank you for the gift items. But love, I want us to hang out this weekend, and if your friend gets the chance she can join us at the sharp corner joint where I used to eat pepper soup and cold drinks.

No problem, I had the intention to ask you similar things before since you have mentioned it, all is well. I will call my friend Susan and I am very sure that she will be glad to hear it because she likes such a thing. Said Joey.

When they got to the sharp corner joint, all of them were sitting on the sofa and expecting a waiter to supply them with exotic wines and delicious pepper soup. Suddenly, the noise was coming from every angle, "eh! Joey put your legs up! Put your legs up!! There is danger under the chair." Everybody was moved out of that place.

What happened to everyone standing outside like this? Said the joint owner.

Tompson: It was a snake that chased us out when we were enjoying ourselves.

Which snake? From where? How come? The snake can not enter here. Please, can you show me where it was? Said the joint owner.

Susan: Come and see it here. It is under this sofa.

Oh! My God, it was an artificial Snake I bought for my son to play with. Come and touch it, It is a toy. Said the joint owner.

Everyone was surprised and they returned to their seats and continued with their enjoyment.
