FRANTIKOL THE MONKEY PART 1

FRANTIKOL THE MONKEY 

Once upon a time, there lived a very dominating and prepossessing monkey. It lived in a redolent village which was ornated with gigantic blossoms. Everybody loved to call him Franti. One pleasant morning something disturbed him greatly. He decided to meet a maharishi who resided on the brow of the Himalayan range. His mind kept pondering with thoughts of every sort.

He began his expedition to find the maharishi, which was unlikely tougher than he had expected. The snow and chillness that could kill a person wasn't all that he could expect.The worse was yet to come. He was heading towards the most dangerous mountain to scale. It is considered to be one of the most sensitive avalanche-prone areas. And there he stood unprepared mentally and physically. Thoughts of going back dominated his mind. He did not know how to overcome the conflict in his mind.

He stood there waiting for his mind to decide as the chill winds froze him outside while he boiled with turmoil in his mind. He could hear the lyrics way back in his mind.

 Waiting on the first step

Show me where the key is kept

Point me down the right line because it's time

 - Pink Floyd 

 

As he stood, he could feel the urge to go back, subside from his mind. The longing for an answer that he had been looking for overtook him. He began moving towards his destination expecting to encounter with  trekkers on the path. Admiration of the  physiological  greatness of the place engulfed his mind.

He reminded himself of the significance of the name given to the mountains , "The Harvest Goddess".And so he fell into an isle of his own thoughts, of the beautify of the goddess and  her magnanimity. He remembered the story that his grandmother narrated.

            "You can meet the Harvest Goddess by throwing a gift into her pond. She'll also pop up from time to time to congratulate you as you raise your farm degree levels. You are the only one who can see her though. " 

The unseemly journey has to halt for the moment. the weather worsened, nothing could be seen or felt. It was just ice that prevailed.
