The ‘flower vase’ superintendent and his ‘flowers’ (part eight)

ART went contemplating on Sora, as the at tractive flower, of which none of the good looking honeybees dared to slip on her tempting pollen. For who among these creatures will venture, when in time immemorial, this flower even defied odds to overpower the divine creature of all. Ambition combined with deception seems to be both, the flowers’ strength and weaknesses. Unsatisfied of all the goods and power they have, it is not yet enough, they wanted it more.

While on the other side, Sora’s mind perceive the two men, Art and Rico, as mere eggs trying to bang each other, to prove who was the smarter and tougher. The first seems to believe himself as the lion who will rule the Deped’s kingdom without fear but with fervor, trying it all, in a manner resembling the dove. While the second, cunning as he was, wanted the small things or beings to be manipulated expressly in an efficient and satisfying manner.

But before pondering what these big three have in mind, let as contemplate what Judas has done. After selling his portion of the Eden’s land to the northern army, Judas went on with all the socks of money he has, to kiss Jesus goodbye. And what

will general Chonard of the northern army will do to the Man whom Judas has kissed goodbye time is the unending entity that will explain it all. And for Judas, he went on buying food to fill his hunger, the rest of the proceeds were devoted to spreading the divine words. And he went away to the farthest lands spreading the words of fairness and equality to the southern tribes. Again in a stronger ancient language, he yelled “kala kala Itiyed mod man iaagi, adivay shiman, nenumgkalak ja sandasos ikabajo ja sandibo ibotog, menduto kayu ta mengan ja katu-otuo, nem itneng jo ipasya nin mapteng ipana-asel ko”

And back to the contemplation of the three, the silence was broken when Sora said: you know we cannot just think of that Special Education Fund (SEF) alone, there are other resources if you want, especially if all the gold of this SEF is not enough. The two men are wondering what Sora was talking all about. Sensing the two has not grasped what she was trying to say, Sora further said: I will give you a clue; it is that beautiful sound of the cow which the two of you are trying to put in the refrigerator. Can you give us more clues, the two men replied in chorus. To which Sora further said: It is that thing almost all principals believe it to be inside their treasure chest and that they alone has the exclusive right to determine where to spend it and no one, even the brightest or dumbest teacher has the right to suggest where it should be spend. Exhausted what was that all about the two men gave up and said: just spill it out; we owe you one cup of super- branded coffee. Sora, feeling she has to “put one” (maisahan) over the two men, taught of kissing them and she did while exclaimig “I call it mwahhhhh or MOOE, short for Maintenace and Other Operating Expenses.” And in what way will this MOOE be mined of treasures, the two men reacted again in chorus.
