can this be considered as ghost of boobs?? He sure looks scary enough..and those stories were only meant to keep us from danger and doing what is right instead. Afterall, they come with good intentions, just from the wrong direction! When they told us the lies, they probably wouldn't think that we might actually grow up believing those lies.. As a result, we tend to be paranoid over ridiculous things and nurture our children with the exact same lies! Take my story for an example. When i was 4, our family went for a vacation in Malacca and we visited the Hang Li Po Well, better known locally as 'Perigi Hang Li Po'.
Yes, so from the picture, you can see there's a hollow steel covering the top of the well. So innocently, I asked my father "abah, kenapa ada benda besi ni?" and my beloved father convincingly answered with a straight face "ooohhh.. memang lah! Sebab dekat dalam tu ada beruang besar! So x nak kasi die keluar, kena la letak jaring. Nanti dia makan adik! So lain kali jangan la panjat-panjat benda macam ni kalau tak ada jaring tau!" yes... very true... what a know-it-all father i have. tssk! So for years i grew up until i was in secondary, believing that the Perigi Hang Li PO has a big terrifying bear in it when really, the hollow steel is just to avoid people from falling into the well! goodness! But then again, it wasn't any hollow steel that kept me away from falling into any well, but it was the innocent lies my father had told me. So i guess, thank you dad!
Still, no matter how good one's intention is, telling a lie is never a good way of solving things. Regardless how effective it is. So people, be sure not to tell lies especially to kids! Because you'll be surprised of the things they are capable of doing and understanding just by treating them maturely.
