the Tale of Mr Smart.
the Tale of the Green Glowing Thief.
Once upon a time there was a very smart
worker in a large factory.This Factory
manufactured Green Glowing Dye.The
Dye was fluorescent.The Dye would glow
in the Dark,handy finding someone in
the dark.Now this smart worker was
among the best and was promoted to
the position of senior supervisor and
was part of the chemical analysis
department. With his exalted degrees
this worker grew even there.Now a lot
of people grew jealous of this worker
and repeatedly plotted against him.
The worker though aware of the
plotting choose to be in his own
utopia. Now one evening in the
local pub frequented by the factory
workers, some of the smart-workers
colleagues who worked in the factory
adjacent to his were huddled in
discussion.The factory adjacent
produced Red glowing dye.The
two factories were connected
internally ,but getting in and
out was through a lot of serious
security checks. But moving
between factories was less
stringently guarded. The Red
glowing dye was very expensive,
a lot more expensive than the
green glowing dye. This group
of workers numbering three,
were the thieving sort.
None mixed with these three.
The Smarty-worker knowing how
smarty he was now and than
mixed with them with his nasal
laugh and silly stare he acted tough.
Actually he felt tough being around
these three and he wondered why
the other workers avoided them.
Increasingly THE THREE,known in
the factories as Mr Ogre - the large
beffy one, Mr Goblin the Dwarf,
lastly Mr Ghoul , lean , lithe with
cold eyes and the looks of a lizard,
were gradually getting close to
Mr Smart. Mr Ghoul was the Brain.
All three were psychotics. Now
Smarty worker-lets call him Mr Smart,
was increasingly made to feel welcome
among them. After all what harm can
a Ogre,a Goblin and a Ghoul
do to a human ?
Goblin "Mr Smart was the chemical forumal
for TNT" Mr Smart "C6H2(NO2)3CH3, or
simplified into C7H5N3O6 " blurted out
Mr Smart with lightning speed.
Goblin stared open mouthed "Sir you are a Genius"
These confidence building measures went on for
months gradually making Mr Smart feel as if he
was in control. Ahhh the ever so conniving
Ghoul and his agile mind.
All three crooks were professional con men,
past masters at manipulation and guile,
ahh poor Mr Smart the chemical's expert
thought his expertise was all encompassing.
Well he did have weird fantasies of being God.
I mean dont blame him he surely was good at
chemicals.
The crooks took him out to play bowling and
snooker and chess and even on the shooting
range(gun).After a month on the shooting
range Mr Smart was really feeling tough.
Incidentally it didn't occur to Mr Smart that
in most of the games they played he was
winning.Increasingly the crooks sought
his advice and counsel.They looked at him
as there Master. Mr Smart felt really God like
now.Even he separated there quarrels and
they never argued against him.
One day in the pub(the Tarantula Diablo)
seated in the corner were the three crooks
all hunched in worry.Enter Mr Smart.
Mr Smart "what ails my good friends "
They looked a him in sadness, but most
sad of all was, Mr Goblin head low,eyes
in tears.
Ghoul went on to explain that Goblin was
heavy in debt and that he would soon be
forced to sell his house and maybe all his
possessions.Goblin needed a very large
sum of money.
Mr Smart was willing to contribute along
with ghoul and ogre but the debt was very
large .Mr Smart was shocked at the
amount required.
Goblin was supposed to have a 4 week
deadline before the bank moved in ,
if the financial goons hadn't got him
by than.Mr Smart looked at him with
his tough yet sad face.
After hours of drink and discussion Ogre
finally blurted out that why doesn't Goblin
steal some of the Red Dye in his
company it was worth a lot of money .
Ghoul stepped in "HOW DARE YOU
EVEN SUGGEST SUCH A THING"
Ogre "come on its only a few bottles ,
no one will notice"
Ghoul "SHUT UP YOU BRAINLESS OAF"
The debating and play acting and guile continued.
Finally the Master -Mr Smart realized that this
was the only way to save Goblin.Poor Goblin
he thought.I wonder if there ever can be
a Poor Sad Goblin.
Ghoul relenting suggested this may indeed
work but they needed Mr Smart's help.Since
getting the dye out the red-dye manufacturing
factory directly wasn't possiblethe only way
was to smuggle it into the green-dye
manufacturing factory and than out.The
Green dye factory had very minimal security.
Ghoul even suggested an ingenious way
to hide the dye inside Mr Smart's car
a special compartment was to be made.
Hours of discussion and bottles of Rum followed, in
this old seedy bar,Mr Smart felt like a pirate planning
a major mid ocean heist,but what are pals for ?
Finally a day was suggested and the plan
implemented ,but after weeks of meticulous
planning.Ogre was the security guy between
the green and red factories hence he would
over look the baggage of Mr Smart and make
sure the security cameras erased his passing
through.
D-DAY
The day of the plan Mr Smart was scared,
totally but he wanted to be tough.At the
chosen hour Mr Smart went through into
the Red Dye Factory, Goblin handed the
bottles of Red dye while Ghoul watched
over from afar.
The security camera in the store room of red
dye was manipulated to be off,ogre made sure.
But OPPPSSS in the storage room a large
barrel broke lose and drenched part of Mr Smart,
a clumsy mistake.Goblin made Mr Smart who
looked like Mr Sacred shitless now,wear a large
work coat to hide the coloration.
Quickly the bag of red dye bottles was given to
the reluctant and scared Mr Smart and he came
to one of the security gates between red and
green factories,ogre was the only person there,
Smart slipped through headed to the parking lot
hid the dye in the secret compartment in the car.
Next he ran to the showers to try and remove the
dye of his skin ,it covered part of his stomach legs
and hands and even drops on his neck,Smart was
on the verge of panic ,all his life self preservation
was paramount now how to save himself, viola a
brilliant idea came to he went to a green dye storage
room and drenched himself in the green dye.No
one saw him do this. Now he went out and washed
himself as best as he could in the shower and
changed his clothes.But the green dye was all
over him but it did the job hid the red dye.
Just than the alarm rang,the theft was known.
All workers in each factory were brought out
and in one line up one was glowing bright green.
The owner of the factory also stood watching,
a senior person ,he stared at Mr Smart,someone
whom he had a good opinion about.Before he
went home the Boss whispered in the ears
of the head of security ,"don't check the car of Mr Smart"
Now at the rendevouzs Smart handed Ghoul
the dye and went home.Though he bathed
for hours the dye never left him.
It became a open secret, a lot of the worker
knew that Mr Smart was involved in the theft,
he was under a cloud of suspicion.
The three crooks forgot Mr Smart immediately
afterward and never entertained him in there
drinking group. Everyone avoided him.
Mr Smart now knew he had to set things right
so he kept doing mistakes,like in the new
factories that came adjacent like manufacturing
yellow blue pink and brown dyes, he always
managed to get some on him,Actually it was
Mr Smarts way to show
'that he was like this only,he was clumsy ,
a desperate crazed attempt to save himself'.
By the end of the year Smart was a myriad
hue of color. Every color in a rainbow
was on his body. Sure was easy to find
him in the Dark. People always snickered
behind the back of Mr Smart the Green
glowing thief.
