Chapter One: A Comedy of Pies

Prologue: The Malaysian Affliction.

Isnt perpetualpracticalunpunctualitis syndrome just one of the worst diseases in malaysia ever? imagine: a a board of commitees setting a 12 to 4 pm time for rehearsal; therefore an undiseased individual spends ten ringgit on cab fare just to reach on time, and is subjected to an hour's wait, while the afflicted parties simply waltz in and joke around, poke around, mess around half an hour late. still later, two chronically diseased specimens lightly call out: 'those who wanna practice, just practice yeah? we've got to go somewhere for a bit.' ......aaaand everything's put on hold for them.

so yeah. w'all waited fer a whole daymmmm hour, ya know.

scratch that. how bout a top-notch quality control system that filters out the acceptable ones, but leaks the rotten bit through? in which case it's the filter itself playing unfair. it was hardly sporting of it to do so. hardly sporting at all.

Chapter One: A Comedy Of Pies

Once upon a time, not far in the land of helpful Busybodies, a Body of Busy Bodies held a pie baking competition. Now, A-Body was the in the Helping Body of the Kitchen Body and so he asked Somebody, whom he knew was good at baking pies, to come along and join Everybody. So Somebody went, and there he decided to prepare a big three-piece-pie, which was duly approved by Everybody. So happy was Somebody (and This-Body, of course) that he spent days practicing until his hands were sore.

Suddenly, on the day before the Great Baking Day (the Warm-The-Kitchen-Day), One-Certain-Body told Somebody that Another-Body would be taking over the baking of the first piece from his three-piece-pie, which meant that Somebody then had with a two-piece-pie left (ah, but then Another-body thought Somebody would be preparing that piece of pie, while Somebody thought that Another-body was going to do it, so neither of them prepared anything and in the end nobody made that piece).

Then, One-Other-Body told Somebody that A-Body (who could not come for Warm-The-Kitchen-Day) was not such a good baker and was not there in body, and so would perhaps not be allowed to join in the Great Baking Day, but Somebody and This-Body pleaded for A-Body and so it was not truly decided that A-Body would not be joining. Somebody was then happy that A-Body would still be able to join the Great Baking Day.

Ah, but then you see, on the Great Baking Day itself, just an hour before the baking, to Somebody's dismay (and This-Body's) he found out that A-Body would not be allowed to join the baking, and that his second piece of pie (which was to to be made together with A-Body), had been taken out and eaten by the Filter. And so he was left with only one last piece of pie.

And here, This-Body is very very unhappy, because the piece that the Filter ate is one of This-Body's favourite pieces ever and This-Body had looked looked looked forward to it being baked together by Somebody and A-Body. This-Body had also helped them knead the dough to prepare for the baking, and isnt it just a pity the Filter ate it before it could be cooked? (Ah, but then, the Filter's pie came out horribly burnt and lumpy, it was stuffed with no fillings and was so very badly baked, that This-Body didnt even want to smell it at all, it hurt This-Body's nose so)

And so Somebody baked his one final piece of pie very very well (even though a tiny bit burnt on the top) so that This-Body enjoyed it very very much, and This-Body thinks Everybody who got a whiff of the smell liked it lots and lots too. Too bad about the first and second piece; its alright, we'll get another oven sometime.
