LITTLE BUDDHA

Jason Thomas Orange was born on a little island, off the coast of India. His parents, still living in the 60's era, left him in the care of a wise old Buddhist and ran off to start up a pumpkin-growing commune. Jason was a happy child, the Buddhist (let's just call him Makatia Sinfara Tolabi Vindaloo, for now). Gave Jason all the care that he recquired. He tought Jason how to eat the hottest curry in India as if it were an ice-cream, he tought him how to pick certain seeds from various plants and combine them all into a three-seed-mixture (Sesame, sunflower and pumpkin)....they helped him to grow tall and strong...and last but not least, he tought him to use his body to dance for the Indian Gods and thank them for all their gifts of the world. Before long, word got out that Makatia Sinfara Tolabi Vindaloo had tought Jason to dance so well, that no one in the whole of India even came close to his greatness. The Emperor of India sent for Jason to come and dance for him, so that he too, could see the wonderous talent. Jason did so, and the Emperor was so impressed, that he ordred Jason to stay and live in his castle and dance for his guests and be paid a loaf of bread a day, in return. Jason had no choice and he was upset, for he did not like living in the castle. Makatia Sinfara Tolabi Vindaloo felt terrible, for he knew that Jason must be unhappy, and it was all his fault, for teaching Jason to dance so brilliantly. So Makatia Sinfara Tolabi Vindaloo Meditated and prayed to Buddha for 365 days, and on the first day of the following year, a letter came to the castle. It was a letter from a man in England named Nigel Martin-Smith, offering the Emperor 10 000 rupees, in exchange for Jason Orange. The greedy Emperor happily agreed and Jason was packed on to a camel and sent away to Nigel, where he met four other men and together they all sang and danced from hapiness that Jason was free at last.
