A
beautiful morning in the small farm as
beautiful as a birth of my bothers and I. We had different colour in our skin.
My eldest brother had orange, another
had white , brown, and light-yellow. Mine was yellow.
One
day, the orange egg, my eldest brother’s nickname, asked “What’s your
expectation in the future?”. We were gaping at him.
“I
expect to be the best egg in this farm” answered the brown egg
“I
expect to be heroic chicken, everyday I’ll wake you up with my shrill voice”
said the white egg
“I
expect to be easter egg, so every child
wishing for me” said the light-yellow egg
I
kept silent and asking to myself what’s my expectation in the future?. After thinking for a while, I said “ I expect
to be a beautiful chicken, so in every beautiful competition I attend, I can be
a champion and make the farmer proud of me”
In
the middle of their chat, their mother came in.
“My
sons, whatever you expect in the future I hope you'll be useful for human. Now,
it’s the time to go to bed. Good night “ said their mother
Next
day, the farmer came. He took me from my comfortable place and being separated
with my brothers and mam. I’m so sad. He brought me to his home and put me in a
cold box. In the night, the yellow egg was crying and his crying woke a bunch
of spinach up. A bunch of spinach astonished and he asked the yellow egg “ What
happened? Why you're crying in the
middle of night?”
“I’m
sorrowful, I was separated with my brothers and mam, and I can’t achieve my
dreams” answered the yellow egg
“What’s
your dream?” said a bunch of spinach
“
I expect to be a beautifull chicken, so in every beautiful competition I
attend, I can be a champions and make the farmer proud of me. But, now it just
a dream, I can’t grow up and can’t be use again in this cold box”
“
Who say you can’t be used again friends? I believe one day you can benefit the
farmer more than what’s you’re expect to be before. Just believe and be
positive . God have a plan for you” said a bunch of spinach
“
Really?” asked the yellow egg
“Sure”
answered a bunch of spinach
“
Ok. I believe and be positive. I trust in God. Thank you for your advice
friend” said the yellow egg
“My
pleasure” said a bunch of spinach
In
the town, there’s a cooking competition for all the farmer in that city. The
yellow egg’s farmer planned to join the competition. Everyday he tried to
cooked the most delicious food with his wife. Unfortunately, as the time
running, he couldn't discover the recipe to make the most delicious food. He
felt frustation and deperate. He walked to the refrigerator and opened it. His
view pointed to the yellow egg he took few days ago. An idea come when he saw
the yellow egg. Then, he cooked again and
mixed the yellow egg with the batter.
The
yellow egg was crying. His body collided in the table, one , two, three times !
He was crying louder and louder in each collision and finally his body splited
into two, produced a thick yellow and clear liquid. Now the yelow egg “naked”,
his body become one with the batter. But he still trust in God. God always had
a plan for him.
The
yellow egg faith paid. The farmer won the cooking competition, he discovered
the most delicious food after he mixed the yellow egg with the batter. The
farmer won the cooking competition because of the yellow egg.
