A Truth

"Welcome! Welcome to the grand show of American Circus! We all are honoured by your presence! So, why to keep you waiting, ha? LET THE SHOW BEGIN!! " The lady cried joyfully. After her jolly announcement, a procession of animals paraded around the circus tent. All were decorated in sparkling dresses and designs. The lady stopped the procession and then, a gorilla walked towards her, breaking the line. Everyone around her gasped. She smirked, the show was her's tonight. She whipped the gorilla and made him do a number of tricks and frolics, and the show went on.

Later, at night, the lady deliriously walked up to the gorilla and laughed in his face, taunting him for his frailty. Oh, the irony, the beast of the jungle being teased for being calm. He didn't react. He knew, that times will change . And maybe, there will come a time when the world will hear his growl outside the circus tents.

She laughed, he stood silent... waiting.
