I heard Mama in angry, I not dare to argue; the belly was still too pain, I asked again for help: “Mama, my belly was really too pain, the bottom was pain also; you must save me.” Mama seem forgave me: “You never listen and follow my words, you worth this heavier flow. Go and get me the herbal oil, after oiled you will recover.”

I heard Mama willing to save me, I walked by and pull up my vest: “Mama, hurry and help me oiled, I am pain.” Mama started her worried: “Laid on the bed, how could I oiled you in standing position.” I climbed quickly and laid on bed, Mama poured the herbal oil on my belly, she smiled while she oiled: “You giant belly, you consume almost half the bottle, if you keep this figures, I wouldn’t help you oiled again, you will used them all then.”

I got a bit angry with Mama: “I am not fat, I am not. Choi and other others are too thin. Strong told me, I am far much smaller than the piggy and elephant, I get long way to be fat.” Mama sensed my angry, she hug by my neck: “Tomorrow will never angry with Mama. Mama give you warm hug and kisses, give you ten more dollars for one additional dishes tomorrow, you have to forgive Mama.”

I heard there could be one more dishes, I said: “I could forgive you in one condition, you said I am not fat; if not, I would still angry.” Mama laughed: “OK, My tomorrow not fat, my tomorrow is still too thin. Here is your twenty dollars, not for two grilled pork chop, but just one.”

I heard Mama agreed I am think, I was much happy; upon she allow me with one grilled pork chop, this lessen some of my happiness. I thought I could have one grilled tenderloin, this was not denied by mother, I couldn’t stopped and laughed out. Mama seemed noticed my tricky thinking, she said: “It would be better you have one grilled pork chop, one oily chicken; you should not think of grilled tenderloin.” I heard Mama’s raised, I felt really unlucky.

Mama gave me with twenty dollars for lunch, I show you.” I put hand in pocket of my pair of shorts, I searched around and nothing there.

Uncle Fatty saw I showed nothing, he said: “Little Tomorrow, you are the king of liar, where is your Mama’s twenty dollars?” I pull off my shorts, my vest, and also my slipper, I sat on grass and search the twenty dollars among them, but I find nothing. I cried for having no lunch: “Uncle Fatty, it is truth. My belly pained and I got heavy flow last night, Mama oiled me the herbal medicine and after then give me the twenty dollars.”

Uncle Fatty: “Alright, Alright, I know it’s truth. Stop crying, Uncle Fatty treat you these two dishes, you have to behave well and not crying again.” I cried: “No. Mama said we could never have other treat or present; she will punish me afterwards.” Uncle Fatty in his awkward face, he said suddenly: “Little Tomorrow, could you help Uncle Fatty?” I remember always Mama’s discipline, offer help always to others, I asked: “Sure, what help Uncle Fatty you need mine?”

Uncle Fatty: “Little Tomorrow, Uncle Fatty has used new recipe for the grilled pork chop and oily chicken; I am not sure if this tastes well. Could you help me to make score on them, let me know if they fit for selling? I will treat you with soft drink too.” I heard the only help is simply for eating: “oow… oow… eating, OK… oww… Uncle Fatty, I sure could help you; but .. oow… I like to drink Green Spot… oow..” Uncle Fatty laughed: “No problem, sure for Green Spot. OK, you sit there and taste deeply the dishes, I go to the grocery and you the Green Spot back.”

I said in proud: “Green Spot, of course.” I told them the long story, I still haven’t completed the part of my heavy flow, Uncle Fatty brought back with a Green Spot.

Note 1:
From my first learning in English, my understanding in western cultural; there is no difference in using Grandmother for both mother of father or mother of mother. I am not sure if this is right. In this story, Grandma is the mother of mother of Baby.
