There once was a young
lad by the name of Bersiki. He enjoyed such activities as floundering,
frisbee and wassailing. However, Bersiki had a very pressing problem...he
had an addiction that he just couldn't break. Gum. He just
couldn't stop chewing gum. The more the better. Before he went
to bed every night, his teeth would be aching from chewing at least five
packs of gum at once throughout the evening. He knew he needed help.
He consulted with his physician to find an answer. 'Uh, Bersiki?
You have serious mental problems and should not be asking me for advice...ask
some nutcase with another degree!' exclaimed the physician. Bersiki
left the office full of hope, until what the physician had said sunk in,
then he was filled with dispair over his dilemma. 'I know...if I
give all of my money to charity, then I can't buy any more gum! Yeah!!!'
So Bersiki took his savings from his bank and went to his local charity
place and dropped off many duffle bags full of cash. 'Oh, thank you,
kind sir!!!! You are too generous!!' 'Nah, just curing my problem...hehehhe...'
The man in the building did not understand Bersiki's response, but decided
not to tempt fate with so much money in the building. 'What is your
name, kind sir?' asked the man. 'The name's Bersiki, my friend.'
Bersiki ran from the building, giddy to be free from the sticky bond that
had festered with his wealth. The man in the building reported to
his superior that a man named Bersiki had delivered a rather large sum
of money to their charity. The news spread like wildfire and soon
everyone wanted to know...WHO WAS BERSIKI??? In the meantime, Bersiki
had gone into shock because of deprivation of gum. Not to mention
starvation. He had no money left to buy food for himself. However,
the news soon reached his ears that people wanted to know who Bersiki was,
so he came out of the dark. He started telling people that he was
Bersiki, but the people scoffed at him. They wouldn't believe a filthy
beggar was capable of donating that much money to charity. There
was only one alternative left...Bersiki went to visit the man who was in
the charity building. 'LOOK EVERYONE!!! IT IS BERSIKI!!!' Everyone
crowded around and joyously applauded Bersiki. He became a celebrity
and went on to star in many Hollywood productions.
