A Short Story

Part 1 Farmers_

Some time ago, the Gun was made. And then, one day, the Gun was brought
about a farmer. The farmer owned land upon lands and fields upon fields. And,
the farmer found the Gun in lieu of its place of work. And, the Gun asked the
farmer,
“For what reason do you have so much land and so many fields?”
And, the farmer replied to the Gun,
“Well, to grow crops, of course! Lots of crops!”
.. The Gun took a minute to think.. Then, the Gun asked the farmer,
“But, why do you grow crops?”
And, the farmer replied,
“Well, because my crops are in such high demand, of course!”
.. The Gun took another minute to think.. Then, the Gun asked the farmer,
“But, why are your crops in such high demand?”
And, the farmer replied,
“Because people want what I grow, of course!”
.. The Gun took another minute to think.. Then, the Gun asked the farmer,
“But what is it that you grow, that people want, that is in such high
demand?”
And, the farmer replied,
“Well, tobacco and poppy and coca and cannabis, of course!”
.. And, the Gun took yet another minute to think.. Then, the Gun asked the
farmer,
“But, what do people need tobacco and poppy and coca and cannabis for?”
.. And then, the farmer took a moment to think.. Then, the farmer said to the
Gun,
“Well, for cooking and for drinking and for smoking and for medic..”
“Wait,” objected the Gun. “I smoke! Only after I work, do I smoke. Even so, I
need to smoke after I work! Those people you do work for only ‘want’ to
smoke! I ‘need’ to smoke when my work is done,” demanded the Gun. And so, the
Gun did work on the farmer, and preyed as it worked, and smoked afterwards,
as it promised it would, after doing work. And, the farmer was no more. And,
the Gun moved on to find work elsewhere.*

Part 2 Principals_

Later, after time had taken course, the Gun was brought about a great
school. The school had stood for many years, and was well known, for the
success it promised to its students and to their parents. Many children and
many teachers, of all ages and from all places of the earth, attended the
school. The school was, truly, great.*

One day, of one particular school year, the weary of the Gun
apprehended_ the principals of that great school, about their work. And, the
principals objected to the presence of the Gun, saying,
“This is a school, for goodness sake! For learning and teaching, and for
working, of course! There’s no place here for the Gun to work! Nor, ever for
the Gun to teach here, on these grounds. And, as for either of these matters,
the Gun is not to coincide with this great school!”
.. And the gun took a minute to think.. Then, the Gun asked the principals,
“Are you certain this isn’t a place for a Gun to work, nor for a Gun to
teach, since, the work of a Gun, for all of time, has never misdirected time
in judgement, nor has it displaced time in judgement, on matters of fact?
Otherwise, else is a Gun here?”
And, the principals used a trace of time to think.. And, then they said to
the Gun,
“Perhaps, what has been said has since been, and that for all of time, the
work of the Gun has never misdirected time nor misplaced time, in judgement.
So than, seek our teachers and our workers and our pupils. And, if the Gun
can find those of whom to learn from, and that ever might the Gun learn to
teach reasonably from__, by which our pupils and workers and teachers of this
school should absolutely need, and should they only need absolutely, then and
only then, might there be an attempt for the Gun, might it ever teach also,
to work here. And so, if by then, and only if then, is the Gun enough to
coincide here.”
.. And, the Gun took another minute to think.. And, while the Gun was in
thought, the principals interrupted, and added by saying,
“Also, too.. only must the Gun pass all courses, of course, in order for an
attempt on behalf of the Gun to be made.”
And, the gun took a second minute to think.. And then, in static regard,
replied, saying,
“Of course!”

Then, the gun went on to seek the teachers it needed to learn from, and
in order to earn the honor to teach with, at the great school. And, of
course, the Gun was brought about two teachers indeed.

Part 3 Teachers_

By the course of time, the Gun was brought about those two teachers.
And, the Gun approached, and asked the teachers,
“Teachers, will you teach a Gun of something about which to learn? And, will
you teach a Gun of something to teach the pupils at this school? Something
that they might absolutely need to learn about, and also, by which they
should only need, absolutely, to learn about?”
..And, the teachers took a second to think.. And then, replied assuredly,
saying,
“Ever though, by a Gun?!”
.. Then, the Gun took a minute to think.. And, then the Gun asked the
teachers,
“Supposedly, ever then, teachers are to adhere and resolve the questions
posed by a Gun, that might there be questions posed at a Gun?”
.. And, the teachers took a second to think.. Then, replied assuredly again,
saying,
“Ever though, by a Gun?!”
.. Then, the Gun took a minute to think.. Then, asked,
“Teachers, since be, you are teachers, can a Gun now readily be a student?
.. Then, the teachers took a second to think.. Then, they said,
“Of course! Well.. Since a Gun is here to learn, and since teachers are here
to teach to learn, and, might teachers ever teach a Gun to learn, and, ever a
Gun be taught by teachers, then yes.. The Gun can, of course, be a student of
teachers.”
.. Then, the Gun took yet another minute to think.. And then, asked again,
“So then, will you teach me of something about which a Gun can learn? And,
will you teach a Gun of something to teach your pupils at this school, that
they might absolutely need to learn about? And, by which they should only
need, absolutely, to learn about?”
.. And the teachers took a second to think.. Then said, assuring,
“Yes, of course!”

.. And so, time was given temperately, of course.. As in, the Gun took time
to prepare to learn by the teachers, all while the teachers took time to
prepare to teach by the Gun..

Then, afterwards, the teachers approached about the Gun. And, the
teachers asked about the Gun, saying,
“Where here, from what does a Gun know, that teachers can teach a Gun to
learn more about, and that ever might a Gun teach about?”
And, the Gun took a minute to think.. Then replied,
“Well, a Gun only knows.. from work, of course. And, by matters of fact, a
Gun can learn more about how a Gun works.”
Then, the teacher took a second to think.. Then said,
“Okay, and from what a Gun already knows, what else about how a Gun works,
does a Gun absolutely need to learn more about, that others absolutely need
to learn more about also?”
And, the Gun took a second to think.. Then replied,
“Only has a Gun have left to learn how not to smoke.. As a Gun smokes only
after, as in when, a Gun works.”
The teachers chuckled, humored at the response, and then laughed with the
Gun, and said,
“How not to smoke?! Teachers smoke! But onl..”
The Gun quickly interrupted, and then did work on the teachers, and preyed as
it worked, and smoked afterwards as it always did after it worked. And, the
teachers were no more. And, the gun moved on, to continue on in search of
work elsewhere, as the Gun passed the course of time it had with the
teachers.

As the Gun began to take a new course, on to work elsewhere, the

principals of the great school sought out the Gun. And, the principals
stopped the Gun and said,
“We’ve witnessed the work of the Gun. And, we find reason for a defense on
behalf of the work of a Gun. And, so we find permission for the work and
teachings of a Gun, to coincide here at this great school. And, so the Gun
resided, and waited on time, patiently, for a direction to begin teaching at
the great school.
Part 4 Farmers Pet

And, so it was, the time of the Gun. And, the Gun was distinguished and
honored to teach at that great school. And so, in preparation for the
following school year, the Gun was brought about all the principals and about
all the teachers and workers and about all the pupils of the great school.

And so, when the Gun was brought about the principals of the great
school, for a second time, the Gun asked them,
“What service is most important for you, that the work of a Gun may be
welcomed here by all, at this great school?”
And, as expected, the principals replied in silence. So then, the Gun had
time to think.. And moved on.

And, when the Gun was brought about the teachers of the great school,
for a second time, the Gun asked them,
“What service is most important for you, that work of a Gun may be welcomed
here by all, at this great school?”
And, as expected, the teachers replied in silence. So then, the Gun had time
to think.. And moved on.

And then, the Gun was brought about the workers of the great school.
The workers prepared foods for feeding, and cleaned up and down, and before
and after, all the people of the great school. And, for the first time, the
Gun asked the workers,
“What service is most important for you, that the work of a Gun may be
welcomed here to this great school?”
.. And, the workers took time to think.. Then, they cried out at the Gun,
saying,
“Whoa!.. The Gun is about us?!.. If so, then, as so, the time of the worker
has long been spent.. Our work, and our greatness here, is no more.. The
virtue of our fellow and dearest friend, the teacher, is no more. And, the
mindfulness of our principals has grown absent over grieving greatness. And,
as for our pupils.. they’ve grown weary and wrought by the cause of their
guard. They labor for things unrelated to their time.. And, the farmer.. the
farmer is no more.. by the work of the Gun.. even though, for goodness sake..
After all, we know that the longing with husbandry is due from blame. And,
our fields, as for the places where our work is needed most.. they grow
absent of us and void of food we need, which our greatness was made by. Why,
and for such great query, hasn’t our work been yet redone? And so, if there
is no help by the Gun, we beg to be relieved, that the work of a Gun be done
on us.”
So then, the Gun took time to think.. And so, by the Gun, time granted
recess.

Then, during recess, the Gun was brought about the pupils of the great
school. And, for the first time, the Gun said,
“A Gun is now a teacher. What service is most important for you, that work of
the Gun may be welcomed here by all, at this great school?”
.. And, the pupils took no time to think, and, gave no reply. And so, the Gun
had time to think.. And, while the Gun was in thought, the Gun was
interrupted by one student in particular. And, the student pronounced to the
Gun,
“Only a student knows.. That the work of a student is to help the work of a
teacher.. to lead as the best example besides the lessor example. And so, the
student must learn how not to smoke before ever beginning to smoke.”
.. And so, the Gun took a minute to think.. Then, the Gun said,
“Of course!”
Then, the student was applauded. And so, the student did the work of
the Gun on himself, and preyed with the Gun on himself, and entrusted that
the Gun didn’t smoke afterwards.
