The Laughing Island ( Short Story )
What is the wisdom that is coming from this disturbing world, and why do we have Wars and troubles everywhere!? asked my friend Tom.
If the world before was one piece and became separated to Lands between them Seas and Oceans
because of the disasters that happened long time ago , those Lands are different in Colours, Languages and Religions that tell us that all the Mankind comes from ADAM and EVE which means that one thing at least is similar between all of us maybe!
I am working in big Company with hundreds of Employees from almost forty different Nationalities .
It`s so interesting through all those working years I noticed one thing is in common between all of us,
all of us love it and looking for it ...... it is the Laugh!
It makes distances nearer, it keeps you alive, it helps you to find happiness isn`t it? asked my friend Tom.
Yes, you absolutely right Tom .., Laughing is a Kind of a small Holiday we can give to our Souls..
talking about Holidays, where will you go this year!?
I don`t know yet.
I have an Idea for you if you like.
What is it?
To travel to the Laughing Island.
Hahahaha .. what do you say !? You are a funny Man, and where is that Island my dear friend!!!?
It is just a few steps away from us, it is in the North South East West Middle of the World
So how can I go there?
You`ll not go to it ... The Island will come to you!! only when you are ready for Holidays from yourself.
It`ll come to you when you are able to laugh from your Heart.
Tom went Home thinking about his conversation with me trying to understand what it means laughing from his Heart .. does laughing comes from the heart or the brain or from where !!! He was talking to himself while cooking his dinner, he was preparing chicken to put it in the oven, Oh yes it comes from you my dear chicken when I`ll eat you I`ll be very happy .. you are the only one can make me laugh now..hahahahahahahhahahah
Oh my God, I think I became crazy talking to my chicken!
After he ate his dinner he sat on his couch putting his feet on the table in front of him drinking his coffee while watching TV. Next to him a small table has a picture of his parents who died few years ago leaving him lonely since he was 18 years old and since then he forget even how to smile!!
Watching old movie which he saw many times before his eyes were giving up.
Suddenly he heard knocking on his door, he opened the door and saw 3 men in uniform.
Good morning , the King will meet you now, please come with us .. one of them said.
King!! Who are you? Why? What happened!!? I did nothing wrong!
Don`t worry Son .. the man in uniform said to Tom with a smile on his face, The King wants to know who is our new guest in the Island.
Island!! Which Island!?
You are in the Laughing Island and you are invited to meet our king now. Please come with us,
your Horse is waiting outside..
King, Island and Horse WOW..., what is going on here !!?
They went out all of them on their way to the King Tab. Long wide bright clean street, the houses on the sides all the same design with white colour, behind them a lot of very old beautiful trees planted hundreds of years ago, Tom was looking around him, he saw all the kinds of animals walking in peace between the people who give them food and water and the kids playing with them.
At the end of the street stopped the horse in front of one of the houses that looks the same like the rest.
We arrived to the King`s house .. said the man in uniform.
He doesn`t live in a palace!!? Is that it !?
We are having all the same houses in the Island!
Welcome our new guest ..said King Tab. This is my wife Queen Taba and my daughter Princess Tebana.
Thank you , you Majesty, I am so happy to be here.
Dinner is ready, please have a seat.
Thank you.
They started to eat four of them sitting in the garden. Tom was looking on the table, he saw only bread , olive oil and vegetables, he said , it seems your Majesty, you are all vegetarians.
What do you mean!?
No chicken , no lamb , no meat at all.
Chicken, lamb, we don`t eat those lovely animals!! In our Island we eat only what we planted and what it falls from the trees.
I hope you enjoyed your dinner with us, you can sleep here in our Guests Room. Tomorrow my daughter will show you the Island...
I enjoyed it so much, thank you your Majesty.
Next day the Princess and Tom went together to the Centre, she asked him while they had a break from walking, would you like to drink orange juice !?
Yes, please.
Let`s go to our only cafe in the Island.
Hello Mr. Agosh, can we have 2 orange juices please?
Hello Princess Tebana, here you are.
Tebana and Tom were enjoying the view from the highest hill sitting on the floor outside the Cafe, watching the whole Island from the top, drinking their Juice and after they finished their drink Tebana asked Agosh, how much? He answered, four please.
Ok .. HA HA HA HA please.
Thank you princess, have a happy day.
Princess, can I say something?
Sure.
Mr. Agosh told you our drinks coast four and you just laughed to him and you didn`t give him money.
What is money!!? I gave him four laughs(ha ha ha ha) .... this is the way how we pay for everything in the Island, our currency is laughs and smiles.
Amazing what you just said, so I can pay anywhere with laughs even in the Hospital or to my doctor.
Tom, we don`t have Doctors or Hospitals, no one gets sick here..
This is unbelievable! So I think you don`t have Rich or Poor here if you get everything with laughing.
I can imagine there are no criminals as well, I think no need to be bad if a laugh or a smile can get you all what you need ..... isn`t it, Princess !!!?
Tom`s phone was ringing, he was searching for it, he fell out of his couch, opened his eyes and started laughing and laughing and laughing ..
