Panda Love

There was a panda. Young was she.

But she was different than and other panda there was.

As every normal panda lives on bamboo, this panda was special.

It lived on love.

Her parents never understood her when she was young and demanded her to eat bamboo.

She refused to take a bite of it.

And yes, it seems that this baby panda has not ever tasted bamboo.

Her parents said “Baby Panda, why not just try a bite to see if you like it? Common.. every panda eats bamboo dear..”

And she said “No mama papa.. I want love… I hear its very nice! I want! I don’t want stupid bamboo!

And so she left her in her journey to feed on love.

First, she dated her panda friends, their love tasted bland..

She left the other pandas and decided to find love in other animals around her.

From chicken, donkey, horse and any other animal, she fed on their love and left them.

Still she was not satisfied.

One day, she met a penguin.

Panda said “Owh.. I’ve never seen one like you around! Where are you from?”

Penguin said “I’m from Alaska

And Panda amazed of the origins of Penguin and deeply thought “Ahh.. finally.. a new taste of love!

And as Panda tried to taste Penguin’s love, she didn’t taste anything and she felt weird.

Instead she felt herself being sucked out of love!

Soon before she knew it, Penguin left her for another penguin.

And everyone around came to laugh at Panda.

You were always feeding on people’s love, now Penguin fed on yours! Haha!

Panda confused, lost and ashamed went back to her parents and locked herself into isolation.

Panda’s state brought worry to her family and friends which waited outside Panda’s room.

And after 2 days, Panda came out of her room.

Her parents and friends asked if she was alright asked if she was hungry.

Panda said surprisingly, “Yes, can you get me some bamboo?”

Her worried friends and family rushed to pluck some bamboo and it was the first time Panda would taste bamboo.

She never knew what it would taste like but she knew, she has given up on love.

So, her mouth slowly bit the edge of the bamboo and as she chewed..

A tear rolled down..

The bamboo tasted better than all her relationships between pandas and the other animals she strive so hard to find love from..

The bamboo was plucked by her family and friends cared for her so much to be there for her..

The bamboo tasted like what panda was searching all along..

TRUE LOVE….....................................
