DEAR
FRIENDS,
MAY INSANITY NEVER BE YOUR PORTION! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! COMPLIMENTS
OF THE SEASON!
An obviously insane young man positioned himself at
one corner dancing very joyously, oblivious of the hundreds of eyes watching
him, and those who were entertained by his dexterously apt dance steps. The man
felt as free as the air and danced as if he was created for that purpose only.
When he got tired, he went to the area where the food for the funeral was being
prepared and began to lurk around.
...
“Evagri,
what do you want?” One of the cooks asked. Evagri pointed at the pot of
food.
“Have you finished dancing?”
He nodded.
“I did not see you
dance. Will you dance for me later?”
He pointed at the pot of food again.
The woman sensing that the man was hungry, quickly gave him some food.
Evegri kept his plate of food on the ground and went to the area where the
drinks were stored. All he did was to stretch out his hand and the person in
charge gave him a bottle of soft drink. Evagri returned to the spot where he had
left his plate of food and sat on the ground, pulling his food and drink closer
to him in between his legs. He had applied his teeth to the cork and got it off
the top of the soft dink bottle. After eating and drinking, he lay down on the
ground just beside the empty plate and bottle. He had consumed a large quantity
of food. Without worries or anxieties, Evagri, in a matter of minutes, slept off
right there. No one disturbed him. They were all used to him and his ways.
