A Chat After Dinner — the Fish, Robo, and Buddy
By the water
Looking up, the Fish wonders, on the top of Buddy’s head.
Robo asked, “Can you remember any fun event with your dear friend?”
Fish was looking at the sky, thinking, what a beautiful day today is.
“Nop.”
“Where were you before meeting Buddy?”
“Oh, I was on a massage chair.”
“What?!”
“Yeah, I know. What in the world this fish needs a massage chair, right?”
“Did you have sore muscle?”
“I guess I did a little too much swimming earlier. So glad Buddy was there.”
“Buddy is pretty cool, eh.”
“Someone asked me in the dark hallway, why I’m on its head. So I answered, I don’t have to walk.”
Robo laughed.
“And I love this four-leaf clover! I heard your clover garden is special. About 1/4 are four-leaf clover.”
“That’s right. And that one is special too. It tells you if Buddy is happy.”
“Oh, that’s why it changed to green again today.”
“I was so happy,” Buddy said.
“Did you always have two plates? Did you know we were coming?”
“I happened to drive by a mall today. They were doing Golden Sale like usual in November till the end of December. Yeah, so I bought these two wooden plates before coming to this beach.”
“I like the color and texture.”
“Me too.”
“Me three.”
Robo cleaned the place, making sure the fire was out and placing the pan into her bag.
