The walker asked his feeder
“Why do you not produce much?
The feeder said emphatically,
“You give me much stress,
You throw everything I give you back at me
You throw them back in unlikable packages.
The feeder now asks
“Don’t you know what proper packaging is?
I give water and you give urine,
I give food, you give faeces,
What at all can you give back in its attractive form?”
The walker bows in shame
The feeder says,
“I am your food for today
But know that you are mine to eat in the end
So treat me right
When you are stepping on me,
Know I am your eternal pot,
Learn proper packaging
A child must not give things back to the elder
With the left hand”
The walker walks carefully and shamefully away.
