Banana for a week

After a few minutes, Richard slowly stands up and began to walk on the scorching ground unfortunately he had sandals or else the outcome will be terrible, his figure turned golden when the warm light covered him. his bald head reflected with white light, in his vision a familiar lake appeared and his face showed a complex expression mix with fear and caution.

Walking to the side he took a glance at the lake and found that it was still the same, deadly still. then after about 5 minutes, the river appeared in his sight, the blue water reflected white light, and some small fish the size of a finger was swimming freely like birds in the skies.

Richard gulped he uses his hand as a bucket to drink and the taste of the water seemed more delicious than before! the boiling sun finally decided to take a break and darkness again descend, it looks like it will rain but Richard knew it was normal.

He sat next to the river and began to meditate 'When I meditate it feels the time is messing with me.' he thought about the last time he meditated which was early in the morning and when he opened his eyes he found out that it was night. regardless when he meditates he feels as comfortable like a baby that sees its mother for the first time.

He folded his legs to a cross position and closes his eyes, when everything was darkness he breathes in and out this continued for a short time before he entered a strange state of mind. everything around him seemed to be devoid of sounds. the birds on the nearby tree were about to sing when he saw a monk sitting in the grass next to the river like a statue, the bird stopped and just stared at the monk, its black eyes flashed a light as though understanding something because its head was nodding from time to time.

The forest which was devoid of life slowly began to flourish! insects appeared out of nowhere and rest on the branches while staring at the monk, the frog earlier also stops and stared at the monk. behind the monk was a large number of rabbits and in the middle was a plump white rabbit from earlier, the small fish on the river also glanced at the monk. all life stared at this monk who was meditating and was not aware of the situation, all the animals around him nodded their head from time to time and some had a wrong look on their faces like they did something bad.

After a few hours the sun gradually faded, darkness descended adding eerier to the forest. all the animals began to head back to their homes, Richard slowly opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of the lake. 'It was night again, time flies so fast, I need to head back home.' he stands up and began walking when he paused and thought 'home?'

Richard's eyes flashed with light as he remembered something that stretches his mouth to a bitter smile, he already knew which route he would step when the lake appeared, after a few minutes the familiar tree appeared in his sight. the cold wind blew at his orange robes as he hugs himself while thinking to himself 'I should head back to my last place, maybe that's my home.' but on second thought he remembered his dream like an immortal slaying demon in another world.

Shaking his head he glanced at the banana and formed a plan on his mind 'I'll just find food in another place and then head back home.' the word home for him was a place where he would feel warmth, he sat beside the tree and stared at the honey on the next side, 'Stealing is bad.' he shakes his head and prepares to go to sleep when a stinging sensation came to him.

He quickly turned his head and spotted a black mosquito about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch long, he shakes his forearm causing it to fly away. after looking at the blood his eyebrows tightened, and what followed was intense itchiness that causes him to scratch for an hour. after suffering he sat beside the banana tree which he just named because of the banana, and after tens of seconds, he fell asleep.

The darkness watches over the gloomy forest that was devoid of life except for the sound of snoring coming from the monk, after that it got bored and the sun replaced it. Richard opened his eyes and began to chant a good luck mantra that he just created "Oh Forest of the silence we pursue peace to the end, so bless this penniless monk a good luck that will guide him until the end." after chanting it twice he bowed his head to the blue sky and began to stretches his body.

He glanced at the banana above him and wondered how would he grab a lot of them that can last him for days, he saw the leaves which were wide enough to use as a cover when taking a pee and thus decided that he would put the banana to the leaves and use it as plastic. climbing was easy since he climbed a big tree before and this one was a child play for him, after an hour of going from branches to branches he climbs back to the surface and glance at the banana on the leaves.

One, two, three after counting he nodded his head a total of thirty-five banana if he eats five a day he would survive the week, then he would go back here to get more but eventually the banana's quantity was limited but that's still too far. looking at the bananas in the tree he smiled but then thinking he would eat five a day and it was all banana, the image of a monkey appeared on his mind causing him to chant the good luck mantra!

Holding the leaves with both hands he started to walk on his home, he could see the towering trees that almost pierces the sky when he looks up, crossing the lake was easy as long he walk to the side. after crossing the lake, bubbles started to appear in the lake causing him to turned his head, a green head popped out on the lake causing his heart to shake. 'That frog scared me!' he smiled before walking in the direction of the river, after his figure disappeared the green head raises its head showing a crimson red eye staring at Richard's direction followed by its fork tongue that had a tint of violet.
