My Little Adventure

At last, i decided to go out for a walk during the evening. After taking a shower, i opened the door and stepped outside. The sun was setting down, strong rays of light directly hit the face. It was warm though. Tears of little puppies can be heard, again. What's wrong with them, i wondered. Crying at least few times a day, i suppose it's their job to cry. Strangely. the sound was getting stronger, and yet i couldn't find the source from where it actually came from. There were few puppies playing there, biting each other tail, walking around clumsily like some small hamsters with huge head and teary eyes.

The crying never stopped and he sure cried out loud. The mother couldn't be seen anywhere, as usual. So i decided to look for the crying puppy, maybe to shut his mouth up by putting my finger into his mouth for him to bite. Looking around at the source of the sound, i couldn't see anything, or any sign except for the crying. So either my ear has problems or the puppy had some genetic mutations that he knows how to get invisible. The mystery solved very soon, after i saw the opening of the pipe channels water from the house to drain. Well, i was pretty sure he stucked inside there, as i had seen them playing around there for few days. What an adventurous puppy, i thought. From drain to inside the pipe, and now got stucked inside, what a creative game.

So, where the hell precisely is him? I wondered, my eyes couldn't see through wall and into the pipe. I knew he was there, but where is the location exactly. Even if i know, how am i going to take him out from there. Human technology hasn't advanced to the step of enabling me to shrink into a size of 10cm nor have i had gained telekinetic power through evolution, so what can i do, and how i am going to save him? I really got so frustrated and at one time believed that he could make it himself, but my conscience wouldn't allow me to leave him. So, i looked at the other big head puppies who continued to sniff around and walked unstably around. Maybe they can form a 'little saving squad', with their size, they can definitely go inside and pull or bite their brother out from there. But to think carefully, it was the most ridiculous plan as if i can talk and instruct these little big heads which kept falling while walking. So i abandoned my 'little saving team' and brainstorm again.

After a while, i decided to take action. I pulled up the steel grid and put it one side, put together with all the unused, dirty shoes at the side there. I needed to know where the precise location, and i grabbed the holder which we used to clamp the frogs that get stucked oftenly in our pipes system and with it, i tried to put it into pipe, and poked around hoping to 'feel' him. My sensory neurons were tensing up, ready to fire neurotransmitters to other neurons if there was any slight 'movement' or 'sign' of that little monster felt through the holder, and i thought i felt him. I moved into next phase once i got him, and tried to clamp him inside the pipe, hoping to drag him out. Unfortunely, the pipe was too small in diameter, and i couldn't retract the holder. Well, that explained why he got stucked with that huge head. Annoyed and frustrated, i had no choice but to lean down, and shove my whole arm into the pipe. It was really deep inside, and i mean whole arm with my face parallel to the floor. The best part was, there were dust, particles, excreations from i don't know what kind of bugs and i just showered, clean. But what choices do i have?

I controlled my fingers and moved around, trying to feel any of his body part, inside a pipe that i couldn't even see what were inside there. I moved around slowly, and deep inside swearing that i will spank him hard enough for all these after i saved him. After around 1 minutes, my fingers got him. His soft tender body which i couldn't grab. So i moved around, looking for parts that can be hold on to such as tail, legs or maybe even the head. Thank god i got the legs, and with some force, i tried to pull gently as to minimize the damage that might occur to those tiny legs. At last, he was out. Holding him on my palm, i was relieved. Looking at his watery eyes and his tiny vulnerable body, i decided to forgive him and not spanking him. So, i put him down, and immediately he ran around, trying to look for mother, which turned out to be another dog, and got scared away...

What a great satisfaction from saving a life today, and i am proud of myself. I saved a puppy, hooray!!! And well, let's hope he wouldn't find more troubles...
