Saturday 19th Feb.

Well, today is a rather sleepy day due to the effects of cough mixture, but anyway here's ur story for the day.

Once Upon A Time, there was a group of friends, or rather angels in the Paradise. They were named Envy, Laziness, Joy, Sorrow and Love, followed by their leader named Madness. After doing nothing for hours, they decided to play a game of hide-and-seek. And as everyone was tired of being a seeker, their leader, Madness became the seeker instead.

And the place to play this game was the Eternal Garden. Finding a oak tree, Madness covered his eyes, with his back facing the rest, and started counting," One...Two...Three..."

While Madness is counting, the rest started hiding... As Joy was so happy, filled with sunshine, she climbed up a tree to overlook the whole garden.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minutes soon flew and Madness counted " Seventy Six...Seventy Seven..." still with his eyes closed.

And by now, almost everyone has found an ideal place to hide except...Love. She was still being very indecisive, not sure of where to hide. Behind the tree? Or behing the statue? She thought to herself.

The clock is ticking and soon the last few counts could be heard. " Ninety-eight..ninety-nine...hundred!!" And at the count of hundred, Love simply has no choice but to hide herself in a rose bush.

After counting to hundred, Madness turned around and started to find the rest.

The first one that Madness found was Laziness.`Being so so so lazy, Laziness decided to just lie down next to the fountain of Happiness and waited for Madness to find him.

The next one that Madness found was Joy, mainly because of her laughter. She was so happy that she kept laughing and couldn't control herself....even after Madness has found her, sitting high up on a tree.

THe next next one found was of course Envy and Sorrow, as they were busy quarelling with one another. *( Okay...it was Envy that started the fight, because she was jealous of the fact that Sorrow has a nicer watch than her..and you know what happened after that.. Sorrow's cries brought Madness to them.)

After finding Joy, Laziness, Envy and Sorrow, they proceeded to find Love. But no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't find her.

In the meanwhile, Love was silently crying while hiding herself in the rose bush, as the thorns of the rose bush were scratching her skin and causing her to bleed.....

Anyway, after a long long long time, Love could not stand the pain at last and finally got out of the rose bush, she saw Madness who was frantically searching for her. And when he saw her, he was relieved, yet worried.

He saw scratches all over her, and that pained him. As Love walked towards him, feeling sad that Madness has found her and due to the fact that she has lost the game of hide-and-seek, she found another surprise instead.

Madness ran towards her and hugged her.

Then he whispered something into her ear.

She smiled, and they lived happily ever after, as couples.

Guess what Madness told Love?

" I have found you. (Madness found love.)

If you are a princess waiting to be saved from the dragon, then I will be the prince with the sword.

If you are a bird, then I will be the big tree, giving you support.

If you are a flower, then I will be the rock, sheltering you from all the winds and rains.

If you are the one for me, then let me be the one taking care of you forever.'

So...they lived happily ever after, in the Garden of Eternal Love.

So now, you know why MADNESS always accompanies LOVE?

*** So live your day to the fullest day, as if there is no tomorrow.**
