Ruma Waru @ Waterlea

Here I am gazing at the moon while relaxing in my nice hot spa up stairs outside on the balcony imagining the moon would explode full of money.When I hopped out of the spa there was no light in the moon until a $20 note fell on my balcony.But there’s a secret - every time I would take a step another note would fall from the sky, so I started running everywhere on my balcony like a maniac and it was like RAINING MONEY. HAAA! Just finished a nice warm shower. Now I gotta go clean up the balcony.

Every time I gaze at the moon I always feel like my wife is next to me. Ever since she died, life has been sad. I never like to go out in the day time, but my most favorite part of the day is when me and my daughter just look at the moon. When she was alive she would always just look at the moon and say “every time I gaze at the moon I can feel my mum”. So when me and my daughter stare at the moon, I can feel my wife standing next to me.

“Hey guys do you see that”? “See what?”, I said. “That crescent shaped thing up there”. “Don't be stupid”, Said John. “That's the moon”. “Not that. That”. Jeremy pointed in the other direction. “There's two of them, three, four...AAAAARRRRRRGGGHHH! It’s raining bananas!” We ran as fast as we could, trying not to get pummelled by raining bananas. “We need to get our weapons!”. shouted Jeremy. I could hardly hear him over the sound of thudding bananas. “The bananas are slowing down!”. As one more banana falls down I catch it, written on it is ‘last banana in the whole world.’

I came back from work and went to collect the sunday papers.The headline said ‘A man has eaten the moon.’ How did I not know about that? I dashed out the exit and drove to world road in my cop car. World road was a campsite in the distance. I could see some cop cars plus a jail cell. I went to join the police and they showed me some video footage and I studied it closely. It was getting dark. Just then, on the horizon, I saw the moon. We let the man go. Everything was normal again.  

“Mashallah-the moon has burst and it’s raining money! I can not believe my eyes”. Mohammed was telling his son, Ali.”But daddy this can’t be real. It is not possible!” Ali explained to his father. As Mohammed sat there gazing at the $100 notes fall, Ali ran inside to call his mother and sister. By the time the whole family was outside the money had stopped falling. All that they could see was a blanket of $100 notes. Everyone cried from being overwhelmed. It was a miracle.

Tama was a strange man. Everything he saw he wanted to eat. He saw the moon and he thought that the moon was cheese. Tama climbed the highest cliff, tried to grab it...no good. Try again...no good. He went home and built a flying non-gas motorbike which had enough battery to get there but not back. He took off in the night. He was never seen or heard from again. 

“Come on we need to beat those falling bananas - they have taken so much” I say.  “I know Bob, but it's impossible - they’re too smart!” said Jeremy.  “Well that's what I thought until the professor invented these!” I said. I pull out two rotten banana guns. All the guys in the cabin run up and ask for one.  “Now let's go win that war” I say. We all emerge from the cabin to find no bananas anywhere. I see something falling and I catch it.  It says ‘You have won the war because of your outrageously smart rotten banana technology’.
