Assalamualaikum, i just opened MyEnglish website. After reading the entries, i found one interesting story which were written by a few students in conjunction with
creative writing. It was about a mute person who had been robbed.
A SILENT TRIP
“Clingggg”
A can accidentally being hit .
“Shhh… Do not make any nonsense sound! He is there. Keep quiet!” A
guy scolded his colleague while pointed his finger towards Mr.Mat,
their victim. The sounds of the leather shoes, “flip-flop-flip-flop” had
made those guys eager to accomplish their mission. “ I can smell money
from here” One of the guy seemed can not control himself to attack Mr.
Mat
Those two guys had planned to rob Mr. Mat, the tourist. When there was
nobody around they started pulled Mr. Mat to the alley and pushed him
against the wall. They a bit surprised that there was no single voice
from this man. He just struggled to escape from being their victim. One
of the guy lost his patience and beat him merciless and violently. Mr.
Mat mumbled something but there was no single voice from him. Suddenly
both of the guys laughed because they just figured out that Mr.Mat is
mute. They robbed his purse and his expensive Milan coat that was made
from animals fur. “Goodbye looser! Ha-ha-ha.” They left him alone in the
dark alley.
Mr. Mat felt so scared because he had nobody here. He can not even
stand up because he lost his energy. His was extremely bleeding. “God,
please help me” he monologue. After a few minutes, someone passed by and
he gained his energy to seek for help by raising his hand up. It seemed
that guy refused to help him because he just left and ignored him. He
might thought that Mr. Mat was a filthy beggar. After a while, another
guy with fully suited attire passed by and once again Mr. Mat’s attempt
to seek for help was useless. He felt very disappointed.
All of sudden, Abdul Samed saw Mr. Mat and felt curious about him. He
was lying on the ground in the dark alley and Abdul Samed thought it was
a dead body. He came closer to Mr. Mat and
“Are you okay mister? What had happened to you?”
Abdul Samed the Arab guy asked him worriedly because he saw Mr. Mat’s
forehead was bleeding. He figured out that Mr. Mat is mute because he
used signs language.
Without any room of doubtfulness, Abdul Samed rushed to the nearest public phone and called the ambulance
“Hello 911, there is a mute guy here. He seems like a tourist that have
been robbed and his forehead is bleeding. Come here and hurry up!”
Abdul Samed gave all the information needed and a few minutes later, an
ambulance sound can be heard from far. Abdul Samed helped Mr. Mat stood
up and gave him drinks because he is totally weak. All of sudden Mr. Mat
fainted and his vision became blurry. An ambulance arrived.
Finally, Mr Mat got his treatment. When he was in conscious state he
was looking for Abdul Samed but the doctor advised him to stay still and
have a good rest. Mr.Mat saw Abdul Samed’s name card besides his table
and the card was written “Get well soon.” Mr. Mat smiled and monologue,
“My next trip will be in Arab country”
-the end-
This story reminds me of one of the "iklan" on the telly (tv3), did you remember?
What we can learn from this simple interesting story is:
Our attitude/behavior/respond describes our nation especially to the tourists who visited our country:)
Sometimes, the question of
"Are you okay?" can change everything.
get it?;)
