o Dai-guai of today, enjoying 'sunbath'
30th December 1993, a day before moving house.
In that evening, we were cleaning our old home and preparing to move to new home the next day. There were rubbish and saw dust all around on the floor, not yet been swept. May May who always walks freely at home was crawling out from toilet to balcony, and was crawling over the doorsill towards dinning room. I stopped her immediately.
I kneeled down and spoke to her, "Don't come here, you cannot eat the saw dust on the floor, it would hurt you. We are moving to our new home tomorrow. You have to remember, if you heard Daddy Momi say 'We are leaving, bye-bye', you must come out immediately, otherwise they will forget to take you away, no one will feed you and you will die. Understand?"
May May was looking at me.
I asked, "Do you understand? Nod your head if you understand."
May May nodded and looked at me.
I said, "Understand? Then go back to the toilet, don't come out."
May May turned and crawled toward the toilet, she looked at me over her shoulder when she crawled over the toilet doorsill.
I reminded her again, "Remember to crawl out once hear 'We are going, bye-bye'!"
May May went back to the toilet. I was not sure if she was really understood.
I went to the new home alone next night. Daddy Momi and elder brother delivered the last few cartons of stuff to home at about midnight. Once the door was opened I could not wait and asked, "Where is Dai-guai?" Momi opened the carton on top right away, there came our unfailingly cutie Dai-guai extending her neck. I was so happy.
"When we were leaving we said 'Goodbye old home, we are leaving, bye-bye. Anything left?' we heard 'bang bang' from the toilet, then we saw Dai-guai rushing out madly, I said, 'Aiya, I nearly forgot Dai-Guai!' She knows we are leaving, she is so smart." Momi told me.
Haha~ Dai-guai really understood my words, she was waiting for them to say goodbye and come out.
Who say terrapin has no spirit?
