There was once three men selling rojak, one was called short, one was tall, and one was called shortall... Short has a wife who is as short and stout as him,
Tall has a wife as tall and as lanky as him,
And shortall has three wives, one short who is the daughter of a rich fruit seller, on tall which is the daughter of a billionaire and a medium sized wife who is a normal lady from a poor family...
Shortall loves his medium sized wife, but the other two he married so that he will have access to money and free fruits. His life is not very happy though he have so much money as his two wives, Peach and Pauline kept quarreling about who Shortall loves best. But Shrtall know better, he loves the medium sized one, Pamela, best.
Short and Tall are best friends. One day, Shortall decided to steal their secrest recipes out of spite and jealousy. "HAH!" Shortall thought to himself, "now both f them won't get that much customers as before! If I mix both their recipes... who are loved by everyone, and MY recipe, my rojak paste will be so delicious even the KING will want to eat it!"
With those words, Shortall stole their secret recipes and started mixing all the pastes together, he did not taste the mixed paste as Pauline and Peach were fighting then and he have to go and calm the two ladies. Therefore, Shortall just sold the new paste to everyone without having a taste.
The first customer that ate the new paste said:
"YUCK! WHAT THE HELL AM I EATING?? ROTTEN MUSHROOMS AND BURNT RUBBER???"
The second customer said:
"I must have developed a taste disorder as i never thought Shortall's rojak paste were that gruesome!!"
The third customer fainted....
The rest of the customers complained as well. Shortall could not believe his luck! He tasted the new rajak paste and made a face... "This rojak paste taste horrible!! But i don't understand!!! I mixed all the good pastes together! Why didn't it taste delicious?"
At that time, Short and Tall came to Shortall's rojak store. Shortall told them about his mistake and apologised profusely over his crime. Short and Tall forgived him, as they were good natured men. But before the two men went away, Tall advised Shortall while looking pointedly at Pauline and Peach fighting away in a corner and the mixed up rojak paste. "Sometimes, being together makes things easier, but sometimes, it does not. It's time to seperate the mixed up paste and only choose the one you like."
Shortall looked blank, but deep inside, her understood. He do not love Pauline and Peach. He just craved for their riches. And as the ladies cannot live together in harmony, he have to seperate them. One month later, Shortall had a divorce with Pauline and Peach. He then lived a normal but happy life with Pamela and his own recipe... a paste that will taste better by it's own.
~The end...
