Malog's Parables

[Catarrh 720]

 

The Gahk Scoffers

   In a bub’hosh klomp, an uruk urged gahk others to help him charge the enemy, which outnumbered them severely agh were prevailing against their goi. The gahk laughed agh blah’d, “Lat am a glob. We will nub help lat.” Agh they threw stones agh rotten grub at him as he charged alone to assist the rest of the brothers in defending their goi. In the end, the goi beat back the attackers with the help of the brave uruk who tipped the balance just in their favor. Soon after, he became Rex. How bub’hosh was his wrath against the gahk which mocked him before!

 

The Scatternak

   A scatternak in the desert was trapped under a boulder agh pleaded to a pair of passing jabbernaks for help. The older of the dub blah’d, “Nub!”
   “Why?!” asked the scatternak.

   “Because,” he blah’d, “lat am a scatternak. Lat will sting us.”
   “Mi would never sting ash who helps mi in mi hour of need!”

   The jabbernaks reasoned among themselves, agh decided to help the scatternak. They pushed agh pushed, until the boulder rolled off of him. Then, as soon as he was free, the scatternak stung both of the jabbernaks. With his final gasps, the elder jabbernak asked, “Why?!”
   “Because,” he blah’d, “mi am a scatternak.”

 

The Dub Boars

   In the wilderness, dub boars argued about who was the hoshest. As they bickered, a passing hunter crept up on them unawares, agh shattered both of their skulls.

 

The Proud Tree

   A bub’hosh tree towered above the whole forest. It spent its days gazing at the sky, agh blahing of its own bub’hoshness. Soon, all the mighty beasts of the forest grew tired of its arrogance agh incessant bragging. So obsessed with itself was the bub’hosh tree, however, that it did nub notice its protectors agh companions had abandoned it. With none to guard it, axemen came agh chopped it down.

 

The Fearful Goat

   A young goat was so frightened by all other creatures that he did nub gruk where to find relief. He fled in panic at the approach of any living thing, nub aware of the power of his own horns. Eventually, he fled his blarg in the mountains for fear of harpies. In the forests below, he feared the bears, so he ran to the plains, only to be frightened off by the wild howlers. Yet further away, in the savannas, the lions were too fierce for him. Before long, he found himself in the desert, where he fled into a cave at the sight of the jabbernaks. As he scurried desperately into the cave, however, the opening snapped shut on his spine, proving rather to be the mouth of a bub’hosh skhelll tortoise.

 

The Man In The Well

   A man lived at the bottom of an empty well, agh boasted his knowledge of the world. He ignored all who corrected him. Ash day, a bub’hosh storm came, agh he drowned.

The Bub’hosh Powers

   Ash day, the bub’hosh powers contended over who was bub’hoshest.

   “Mi am bub’hoshest!” blahed the earthquake, agh he shattered the earth.

   “Nub! It is mi!” Roared the tidal wave, as he flooded the lands.

   “All of latz are wrong!” shouted the volcano, agh he erupted with smoke agh fire.

   “Globs!” hissed the tornado agh his sister, the hurricane, as they devastated whole gois.

   Finally, after raining destruction from above, the lightning suggested they ask the people to pronounce ash of them the bub’hoshest. When they sought after somebody to settle their dispute, however, they found there were none left alive to ask.

The Three Scoffers

   In a great battle, an uruk urged three others to help him charge the enemy, which outnumbered them severely and were prevailing against their city. The three laughed and said, “You are a fool. We will not help you.” And they threw stones and rotten food at him as he charged alone to assist the rest of the brothers in defending their city. In the end, the city beat back the attackers with the help of the brave uruk who tipped the balance just in their favor. Soon after, he became Rex. How great was his wrath against the three which mocked him before!

 

The Scatternak

   A scatternak in the desert was trapped under a boulder and pleaded to a pair of passing jabbernaks for help. The older of the two said, “No!”
   “Why?!” asked the scatternak.

   “Because,” he said, “You are a scatternak. You will sting us.”
   “I would never sting one who helps me in my hour of need!”

   The jabbernaks reasoned among themselves, and decided to help the scatternak. They pushed and pushed, until the boulder rolled off of him. Then, as soon as he was free,    the scatternak stung both of the jabbernaks. With his final gasps, the elder jabbernak asked, “Why?!”
   “Because,” he said, “I am a scatternak.”

 

The Two Boars

   In the wilderness, two boars argued about who was the best. As they bickered, a passing hunter crept up on them unawares, and shattered both of their skulls.

 

The Proud Tree

   A giant tree towered above the whole forest. It spent its days gazing at the sky, and speaking of its own greatness. Soon, all the mighty beasts of the forest grew tired of its arrogance and incessant bragging. So obsessed with itself was the giant tree, however, that it did not notice its protectors and companions had abandoned it. With none to guard it, axemen came and chopped it down.

 

The Fearful Goat

   A young goat was so frightened by all other creatures that he did not know where to find relief. He fled in panic at the approach of any living thing, not aware of the power of his own horns. Eventually, he fled his home in the mountains for fear of harpies. In the forests below, he feared the bears, so he ran to the plains, only to be frightened off by the wild wolves. Yet further away, in the savannas, the lions were too fierce for him. Before long, he found himself in the desert, where he fled into a cave at the sight of the jabbernaks. As he scurried desperately into the cave, however, the opening snapped shut on his spine, proving rather to be the mouth of a great skhelll tortoise.

 

The Man In The Well

   A man lived at the bottom of an empty well, and boasted his knowledge of the world. He ignored all who corrected him. One day, a great storm came, and he drowned.

 

The Great Powers

   One day, the great powers contended over who was greatest.

   “I am greatest!” said the earthquake, and he shattered the earth.

   “No! It is I!” Roared the tidal wave, as he flooded the lands.

   “All of you are wrong!” shouted the volcano, and he erupted with smoke agh fire.

   “Fools!” hissed the tornado and his sister, the hurricane, as they devastated whole cities.

   Finally, after raining destruction from above, the lightning suggested they ask the people to pronounce one of them the greatest. When they sought after somebody to settle their dispute, however, they found there were none left alive to ask.
