Comments on 'The Great Guru of the East [UcZMC]'My walking stick & I finally made it up the Indian mountain. We had traveled all the way here to consult the famed guru of the East. I slowly approached the guru in his cave, bowing before the tiny little man. _He looks like Gandhi._ "O Great Guru of the East..."
"West." I look up suddenly.
"Pardon?"
"If you go far enough East, you go West," the guru says simply.
Clearing my throat, I continue. "I came from America to seek your wisdom..."
"Well, you've found it! Here I am!" he cried excitedly. _This is a strange character..._
"Erm, that's not quite what I mean. I've been told you know the Meaning of Life. I'd wish to know it, if you please?" The guru thought a moment.
"Ah, the Meaning of Life! The Meaning of Life is a rutabaga." I'm stunned.
"A- rutabaga? Is that it?!" He becomes deeply troubled.
"Um, maybe it's broccoli?" I nodded and crawled out.
"A rutabaga?!" I muttered to myself.
_I told you you shouldn't have given up on the garden,_ my walking stick mocked.
"Oh, shut up," I grumbled.2008-07-05T07:08:33Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/35245Comment on The Great Guru of the East [UcZMC]<p>This is two challenges with a rutabaga. Does anyone remember that cartoon <em>Doug</em>? Your obsession with rutabagas reminds me of that town’s obsession with Beets.<br />This was indeed funny though. I loved “west.”</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/35245?basename=764142008-07-05T07:08:33ZJohn Perkinshttp://ficlets.com/authors/johnperkins21Comment on The Great Guru of the East [UcZMC]<p>that was funny.
