Part 8 of 14

..the signpost points 3 ways...1 says to McDonalds, the 2nd to Enlightenment and the 3rd to points to Nirvana/Moksa (which gets mistaken by Moonpig for Nevada a state in the USA and Moscow..tut! ).
--Which way we gona go ? squeals Pinky friend.
--I dont know ? (Moony shrugs & wrinkles his snout ) but i doe like the look of that, points > to Nirvana/Moska sign, think that might be interchangeable & lead uz sum where down the line 2 JAIN, dont want 2 meet im or her ??? The aim of Jain iz non-violence, non-absolutism  and non-possessiveness but u can never tell. Might b a ploy or even a cunning plan or action designed 2 turn a situation 2 sum 1's own advantage 2 get uz 2 go down rung path !!! Then again it's 2 hot in the dessert & 2 cold in erm...well eet iz.
--Do what you did last time then, oinks Pinky.

# I am the bubble.........

--Erm, i'll Chant some words while Dancing in a Circle, com on Pinky copy me...# I am the bubble, make me the sea. Wave of the sea dissolve in the sea, I am the bubble, make me the sea.
Pinky friend copies moonpig dancing and singing.
--# I am the bubble, make me the sea. Wave of the sea dissolve in the sea, I am the bubble, make me the sea.
Moonpig & Pinky get dizzy, bump into each other & fall over. Both suffer, concussion...causing them both to become temporarily unconscious or CONFUSED. In this state Moony has an Out Of Podgy Body
Experience...IT says...take the Middle Path...trust in life itself.....The Road to Enlightenment is the Middle Path...Time passes...& pigs come 2, erm...that means they wake up.
--Well Moony, says Pinky rubbing her head...did anything come to you ?
--Yup, clear az mud...we gota take the Middle Path...not sure how but...Com on follow the middle path wiv me...u might b Enlightened.
-- Will it hurt ? 
--Nah! shudnt think so.
On the way and...the sky darkens! It begins to rain & rain &

Might be able to take shelter there !

pour down. Running for shelter under the trees, they spy a Woodcutters Cottage in a clearing. On a plank lying on the floor in the tall grass was carved out, ' Hansel and Gretel was here IDST '. So Moonpig knocked on the door. No answer. Pinky looked through the window. No one in sight although there was a large roaring electric fire in the fireplace.
--Try the handle Pinky, i'm right b-hind u. (& he was :) )
--Why me, muttered Pinky pulling a face & pouting, but opening the door anyway.
--We con stay here till the rain passes over, no 1 shud bother uz az iz well orf The Beaten Track...grunted Moonpig, looking for something to eat.
Meanwhile a tappin' came at the door tap tappity tap! Two creatures are patiently standing outside, neat lookin' too & nattering b-tween themselves. Even though it's raining they don't look like they will move on.
--Go & answer eet then Pinky !...Moonpig pushes friend to the door while he hides behind the settee.
After what seemed like FOREVER, (actually only 5 minutes) Pinky closes the door. 
--Who was it ? What did they want ?

Don't know who they were ?

--I don't really know but they gave me these...(shows Moony 2 MAGAZINES in her trotters).

--R i knows who they waz...seem 2 get everywhere, even if u went 2 the Moon suppose they wud knock on yer door there ! Moonpig wrinkles snout...rain has stopped. Better get on our way. On & on they trudge on & on past a Marsh Bog...hang on...what was that noise ? Lets go back & c wot that noise waz...2 b cont.....

Part 7 of 14

..Well, journeying on they hit a road...THUMP! BUMP! SLAM! (noise of hitting somat...like a...road) Moony bursts in to song # The road is long, with many a winding turns that leads to who knows where, who knows where, but we'll get there & the load...well most of the load has been carried by Pinky friend...Who sweats but Moonpig goes slower for Pinky so she can keep up. Dont you think thats kind of him ?:) A sign post is seen in the distance up ahead it points > (like that) To The Path Of Knowledge...also says in small writing ...CHANT or use your MANTRA here for INSPIRATION. 

Pinky smiles...and waits....and waits.......and waits........

--Moonpig sits & chants in a clear, strong voice...ÖÖÖÖhhhhhmmmmmm...for quite some time till... Hmm, wonder where The Path Of Knowledge leads 2 coz there i will find the next piece of the Jigsaw Puzzle 2 me VISION dream i 'ad ? & Moonpig scratches butt. Nothing unusual here then !!!

--oooO it has yellow bricks, squeals Pinky in a delighted grunt, & clapping her trotters together.

--Lets follow the yellow brick road...suggests Moonpig :)...skipperty skip, skipperty skip!...which soon s-l-o-w-s down to a walk as a steep incline needs to be...erm...climbed. 

On top of the very steep hill is a FORTRESS lying now in ruin. They climb the few remaining steps & lean out where a small slit of a window once was.

From the once was window, pigs look out to a temple

--Whats that over there ? > points...It's, it's like a TEMPLE dont you think, oinks Pinky friend ?

--Lets go down & take a look suggests Moony getting all excited..(cant think why)...& as the sun rose it seemed to glow like gold. What they had stumbled on was...the Temple of the Sun, a mysteriously built structure with massive 12 foot tall stones. There is a small hole at the base on 1 side on the right.

--Juz dig a bit there > points...so Pinky obliges by furiously digging with front trotters...Karry on az i'll supervise coz it needs supervising :) over here a bit...over there now...k...think we con wriggle thru now.

It's dark in here !!!

--Wow! a CAVE. Pinky lights a match & finds a candle & lights it. Cave lights up & Pinky looks round.

 So where did that candle come from and the match i hear you say ? Hey, i'm telling the story so we traded 4 it at the local market & it woz in our holdall all along c :) either that or we found a light switch !  (see story entitled Nav-oo-r4 part 10 of a 13 part Epic story...2nd August-23rd November 2014) 

--Its spooky in here...its spooky in here...There's an echo in here...there's an echo in here.

--Why are you saying things twice Moony...why are you saying things twice Moony.

--It's not me...it's not me...It's this cave...it's this cave...It echos...it echos...There's a loose brick here...there's a loose brick here....Scrape scrape!...scrape scrape!...I'v found somat...i'v found somat.

--What have you found Moony ?...what have you found Moony ?

Found.....THIS !!!!

--A parchment...a parchment...No, a scroll...no, a scroll...Oh blow i'v had enuf of this...oh blow i'v had enuf of this...Let's go back out...lets go back out.

Bet you had enough of that didn't you 'cause i did. Lets make a pact & not go back into the cave okay ? Out in the open Moonpig examines the SCROLL.

--Wow it's entitled...Dddrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! (noise of Drum Roll)...THE SCROLL OF LIFE...but i can't reed it, it's all in an Ancient Foreign Language. I'd better put eet in 1 of the bags 4 safe keepin'. 

The road comes to an abrupt end sooooo...next scene is...Moonpig can be seen pushing his way through the thick jungle cover and hacking away with a Large Stanley Knife.

 (1 of Moonpigs implements to chop veggies when he's cooking see story named 'Supper' 3rd December 2013 on wards).

 Pinky friend has that Tin Opener [Nobody wanted it, but didnt get it...think 'bout it] helping with... well just helping ??? Eventually coming to a small clearing they sit down for a rest and a bite to eat.

Jammie Dodgers...Pinky's favorite biscuits :)

--Any idea where we are going ? oinks Pinky...taking a swallow of the water they had bottled from the Calm Crystal Clear Pool.

--Nope....glug glug glug! (noise of Moony taking a swallow or 3 of the water).

--Well, what does that sign say then...the one on this post...up above our heads ?  Pinky points upwards ^ like that ....2 b continued....

...& running past the Snapping Crackling Fire...smell of singeing can be erm...smelt & Pinky SQUEALS !!!

--Moonpig grunty shouts...Stop ur whinging ur tail iz singeing...& then oinky shouts to Demons as an after thought...he says...eating meat iz DISRESPECTFUL 2 wards life, then warns Pinky...run az fast az u con.

On & on they run, on & on...Night falls...THUD !..that was a heavy night fall :)

Wake up Pinky !!!

Pinky was shivering from nerves so Moonpig decides to tell her some Bedtime Stories...which turned out to be a bit boring 'cause they knew all the endings, but they fell asleep anyway which did the job...YAWN.

On AWAKENING, Moony has a sudden insight in2, 1 of the 3 perplexing questions which need an answer or action or both...maybe.

--Wake up Pinky ! oinks Moony getting all excited...I juz 'ad a REVELATION about the vision i 'ad. 1 of the things i az 2 find iz a pearl...a pearl of high value & take it 2...erm...2...erm...Oh HELL ! (scratches butt!).

--Take it to Hell ? Isn't it hot there ? Near the Equator i presume, (wide awake look on Pinkys face). 

--No no ! didnt mean eet like that, juz an x-press-shun. Maybe eet will com back 2 me...maybe :) but lets av sum brekkie...think we az some tasty acorns & corn, & soya beans in 1 of them rucksacks (bag has changed names again...keep up :) )...R, yup thought so, 'elp urself Pinky but doe eet it all, av 2 rashun eet out else u'll starve :)  Must find sum water 2 drink az ham firsty 2.

Having walked for 30 minutes they come to a Calm Crystal Clear Pool, with a Gushing Waterfall above it.

--Strange,...thought Moonpig...how com the water iz sooo calm ? Still looks good enuf 2 drink...did you know Pinky that a pig will drink 3...2....6 gallons of WATER a day or LAGER if pree-furred  :) !!!

--Well i knew that ! After all...i am a pig, ...Pinky giggles.

As pigs giggle...a spirit rises from the pool

On hearing the giggling & sniggering of pigs (as Moony joins in the joke) a SPIRIT rises from the pool curious as to what all the unaccustomed & unfamiliar noise is all about. Pigs jump back in surprise...& stare.

--It's rude to stare Moony...say something or back away slowly then RUN....So they start to back away when....

--Do not be afraid, my name is KAMI, it is not often i get to converse with anyone.

--Erm, hi Kami, oinks Moonpig, not often we getz 2 engage in kon-ver-say-shun wiv a...a...wot r u ?

--Don't be rude Moony Kami is a...a...?

--I'm a Spirit, unfortunately i became Kami upon my death...hhhhhhhh!(the Spirit sighs) & now i am hidden from this world within this pool & being of this pool.

--But i must say u do taste nice & u r beautiful 2 look at 2 :) erm...Moonpig blushes a darker shade of pale  green (erm song in there somewhere ;)....Pinky gives Moony a sharp look! (wonder why ? )

--Thats so kind of you...no one has ever said that to me in a long time  :) [Kami speaks very softly using her breath rather than her throat]...my POSITIVE side is with me today, can i do anything for you ?

Hmmm! Moonpig thinks hard (   ) like the space between those (   )... :(  so Pinky squeals out with.....

--We could do with...with a PEARL...putting her trotters infront of her snouty mouth at the realization of what she's just blurted out.

--Then a pearl...you shall have.

...then a pearl you shall have...

And with that, Kami dives under the water and brings up a pearl...not just an ordinary pearl, but one of HIGH VALUE...& gives it to Moonpig who eyes it with Glee! (who ever Glee is as just thought was Pinky here).

--Well ham gob-smacked, thx Kami...Moonpig looks round to see Kami disappearing in s-l-o-w-m-o-t-i-o-n back to the pool from where she came...Well, i'll put pearl in me skin-pocket 4 safe keeping....2 b cont....
