King M

Damn cheeky! But bloody good too. I enjoyed it.

Umm, I read this story and I think its quite funny but I couldnt really tell what the moral is. Im not sure it has one--just a funny little story.

uhm ... pretty cool .. and i think the moral is that you shouldnt relay on one personto fix everything for you

so fu****** hilirious..NOT

i liked it..

good one. spunky last line.

like the voice...but what kind of ending was that? serista starblanket

i liked it....and i got the moral. teeheh, nanner nanner nanner :-P --hes

Deceptively simple. I think theres a Mankind/God relationship quest playing out here even if I cant say exactly what point the author is trying to make. I like the casual spoken style but I think the story would read better if the beginning is rid of some of that casualness. Finally, I would suggest to the author that he should get rid of the last paragraph--its not really doing anything there.

Its a very good story , because its very interesting. It makes us think how strong nature is compared to humans. Veronica Allen, Olot

i enjoyed the story.i think the moral is:humans try to grow where they were not meant to grow. it could also mean that greed will destroy what you already have

I believe the moral of the story is to simply be thankful for what you have, but dont try to ask for more. In other words, DONT PUSH IT!!!

nice story..liked the ending

Nice story....quite funny dun get the moral...

very nice satiric story. ramesh kamath,bangalore , india

i like the story, i dont believe ive ever heard a story with a similar moral. and a lovely gods-eye moral at that... - andrew peleikis

that was well funny..... NOT!!

it was find.................sike not that story is not funny at all.

I think the moral is: Dont look a gift horse is the mouth.

NIce story. Story shows the true side of human nature -- lack of trust in God and ungratefullness, ever ready to blame regardless of friend or foe.

i dont catch the real meaning of the story. i just guess the moral is when face to failure neednt complained too much about the persons and conditions around oneself.Much analysis should be put on one own.

good story.

I find the story very funny I liked the way it ended. I hope you keep writing!!!

i didnt really like it, the author probably meant for it to have a deeper meaning, but after thinking about it for a while, it doesnt really make sense

@post above "see thats the problem with you humans: you just dont get it" pure wit, thats all Im saying brilliant and hey, I like that chatty stile. One can imagine the the capmfire in the desert athmosphere it was (presumably) told. keep up the good work

I think the story was pretty good....It makes people realize to be thankful for what they have and you cant always get something you ask for, you have to work for it.. It didnt make me laugh on bit though ~bioncia~

I really enjoyed this story, I thought it was the best of the ones I´ve read so far on the site. To all those who don´t think it´s funny- if you want something with a punchline read a joke, not a story. Deceptively simple, wonderful, original use of language and a last line that will stick in my mind. I sincerely hope this author writes more! -X-

Its wonderful story ! Congrates ! - c s jogesh ,Bangalore, India .

Hey, that was great, really. But I dont really know if God would say "Eh". But is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) :-)

very very very nice . and very very very very very very very lol.FUNNYYYYYYYYY> hahahahahahahahahahhahahahah.. OH MY GOD> HU FUNNNY>

the story was aiight. but yea.. hard to understand the moral, wierd story but kind of funnnnyyyyyy :D

i think the story was awesome! it was very funny too. most of my friends didnt understand it and thought it was dumb, but my parents and i got a kick out of it. :) im thinking of using it as my speech for school!yikes

I think that the story is STUPID, but i cant find another and i need it for my homework.

English have a strange sense of humour, dont you think?

it was alright. I woudlnt want to read it agian though.

how was that even funny???

It was a good story. With a GOOD MORAL. We think the moral is that humans always want to change things for their advantage. They dont respect our environment. They think everything exist only for them. It is our first visit on this website and we enjoy it. Have a nice day!

After reading the other comments and re-reading the story, I quite understand your moral and I think it really is great. Possibly could have been helped more if you had had Mmefiokmma ask for more and God give up a bit more, just to emphasize the moral more. I think it means that humans are given the world but they want the stars..no one is ever happy enough. Great story!

I think this story just goes to show you that even a god can f*ck-up sometimes!

This story shows that god will always do the best for us, if god had put the river in the dessert in the first place it would have dryed up anyway. He gave him what he wanted and put it in the best place. The story shows us that often MAN thinks he knows best and with our freedom of choice that god has granted us we often do the things with bad results. Thats what god ment by WE DONT GET IT. He is right how many poeple get the point of living?

I agree with some of the other comments , the ending was weak. I think the moral of the story was humans just dont get it, the desert is meant to be desert and that is just the way it is, and we are too vain to realise we cannot change thousands of years of geology

You guys are relly clever saying NOT! I mean, Ireally thought you were sincere, and that that the story was humorous......NOT!

Qutie a puzzling story but it had the feel of an old African tale, which I liked.

I think,the last passage means:if you play king M,it signs one thing----yous stupid as him. See this word:"M,thats the problem with you humans: you just dont get it." when you listen this word ,you had play the king M! you cant get it. Do you get it ? :) chinese [email protected]

??

yeah it was good but not funny

Well written, very believable tribal voice. Can read deeper into it too. The theme of Gods provision and our disillusion that we know what we need better than God. Interesting.

I think this story works on two levels; its either realy good, or realy bad. depends on how deep one looks into it.

the moral of this story: none. its supposed to be a funny stories! funny stories dont have morals!

Move the people, not the river?? God put the river in the right place- but man looked at it in all the wrong way?? Hmmm...
