Salt & Pepper

Once there was a spice called Salt. He had a friend called Pepper. They were good friends. Never sepereated from each other. Together they were found on the dinning table. Together they were used as a spice by humans. One day, their owner had a feast. Lots of people came. Both Salt and Pepper sat on the dinning table. They started chatting about their backgrounds and what they were made of.

They found out that they were made under different company, different things, and different ways. They felt it was rather weird because the both of them were so different yet they still can be such good friends. And so, their friendship grew deeper.

A little kid came by. She was rather bored and asked Salt and Pepper why does people always put them both together? Salt replied " That is because we are good friends and people always use us together." She turned to Pepper and asked  "Then why is it so that mummy used Salt more than Pepper?" Pepper replied "Because I am more like a back up. If your mummy put too much of Salt, then she would add me to neutralise Salt." The kid just nods and went off to her way.

Salt turn to Pepper and say "What do you mean by neutralise? Are you saying that just because you are jealous that her mother used me more than she used you?" Pepper shaked his head and said "No, my friend. It is because when you went too far, I am there for you."

Be happy that your friends are different from you. They come to you because they are willing to help you out of trouble when you are in one. They are there when you feel down and lonely. They are your companion when you need one. They are your tissue when you cry. They are your umbrella when you are under a rain. They are your jacket when you feel cold. They are your light when you are in the dark.

Sometimes they are not just your friends but these people are your family too. Love them and they will love you. To all my friends around the world. If you are reading this, just to let you know I love you too.
