anyway...here goes!! it's a true story!!! 😆As a child, my father would tell us (my sisters and I - and sometimes my cousins if they were around) some made up stories while he fed us. It was the only way they (my parents) could get us to eat. We were quite the rascals as kids. Anyways, the story usually ended when the food on the plate is finished. Of course, we figured that out after a while. So, when the food is almost finishing, we'd say that we were still hungry and my father will go put more food on the plate. And, of course, the story continued until the food is gone again.
The stories he told most of the times didn't make sense. He'd combine fairy tales or children stories or even modify a particular story to make it more funny (like in Jack and the Beanstalk...he made Jack pull butter with a leash after exchanging the cow for butter) or he'd just make up some ridiculous stories from scratch. One story (the most ridiculous story I've ever heard in my life) in particular, he called Hobias if I'm not mistaken, was our favorite at that time. It was about an old lady who lived near the jungle with her dog. One night, the hobias people, carnivorous men who ate humans and lived deep in the jungle came to the lady's house, killed and chopped her dog into pieces then kidnapped the lady. Later that night, the lady's son comes for a visit, finds the house empty. As he was about to leave, he hears a sound coming from a drawer. He opens the drawer and finds his mother's chopped dog there. Now this is where it turns extremely - for lack of a better word - RIDICULOUS!!! He sews the dog back piece by piece and when he's done, the dog is miraculously alive again. The dog then leads the son (through smell i guess) to his mother who was being lowered down into a big cauldron of boiling water. Of course, then the son gets into a battle with the hobias people, somehow winning the battle by killing them or something and rescues his mother. And then they (the old lady and her dog, and her son) lived happily ever after. Being as dumb as we were at that age, we'd often request my dad to tell this particular story all the time. Of course at the time, we thought it was one of the best stories we ever heard. Now, however, we just shake our heads at how ridiculous the story was and how dumb we were.😆
