Rolling to a Better Life

     Once upon a time in a small settlement east of the Mississippi (in Yugoslavia to be exact), there lived a group of wild toilet paper rolls. They roamed the forests of Yugoslavia in search of the sacred cheese. This was how the many toilet rolls that had come before them lived for millions of years. One of the wild toilet paper rolls longed for a better life. He had heard from passing soap bars of a mysterious land beyond the edge of the forest. No wild toiled rolls had ever ventured forth beyond the hedges that surrounded their peaceful forest in Yugoslavia. Oscar, the little restless toilet paper roll, wanted to find out about this mystical land. One day he closed down the small dentistry shop on wheels that had for so long been his only love in life. Determined the start anew in this new land, he packed what few belongings he had and headed for the land beyond the forest. He traveled for many nights and even more days before he came across a young cow. Oscar had never seen a cow and he was frightened and so he ran away. Once he stopped running (or rolling to be exact, since toilet paper rolls not runs) he found himself in a large village. He had never seen a village that was not on wheels and so he was intrigued. One of the locals, an astrophysicist, stopped to look at the rolling Oscar. Oscar inquired to the astrophysicist as to what this village was and how he could become part of it. Oscar soon realized that the only way to become part of the village was to become the town marine biologist. So Oscar settled in to his new home, put out the Open for Business sign and went to work. All was good. Many years past and Oscar found himself in a miserable condition. He was living a lie. He was not meant for the life of a marine biologist. Instead, he resolved to resume fighting plaque as a dentist once again.

 

The Author of this story wishes in no way to condone the reckless abandonment of ones home and loved ones. The events depicted in this story never occurred in Yugoslavia (elsewhere maybe). They were isolated incidents and not everyone is so lucky. Thank you...
