The Ugly Duckling & the Handsome Beast

Does a beast have to be ugly? No. He can be handsome and charming.

Does an ugly duckling have be “ugly”? No. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

This afternoon Ugly Duckling found the parking lots packed. She was driving behind a BIG car (MPV) driven by Handsome Beast, also looking for parking. To cut story short, the Handsome Beast did not manage to park his car because he thinks Duckling’s car blocked his way. So he showed signs with his hands and shouted whatever that only he could hear since he’s in the car alone. His face turned red and ugly all of a sudden and that scared Duckling. He gave up and zoom pass. Another car, MPV came and took only one turn and parked in. Easy!

The Handsome Beast is so “duh”. People with same sized car could park well enough. Duckling wanted so much to go to the Beast and said, “Hey, you, if you don’t know how to park such big car, then, don’t drive big car. Otherwise, you’ll blame others.” But she didn’t. It’s not worth embarassing herself for such people.

Changing from one job to another has taught me one thing - people. From the Executives in bank, I saw numerous “handsome beasts” who showed their beastly acts whenever they could, torturing me to carry heavy coins packets and hurling verbal insults at me ON PURPOSE in front of customers. Now, working along with different construction contractors, I got to know how kind these people might be. They are “beastly” in their communication among themselves but never ever rude to ladies.

“HUH!” Ugly Duckling sighed.

Human “are like the new grass of the morning - though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered.” (Psalms 90:5-6)
