Don’t Eat Rabbits John and Mary were spending a Sunday afternoon quietly in their apartment when suddenly a thought crossed John’s mind. “Honey, I think we should have meat for dinner.” John told his wife. “Good idea. I will call the shop straight away.” “No don’t do that. Let’s take a walk. We could use the fresh air.” “Sure, So a hen, right?” Mary asked John with an obvious tone in her voice. “I was thinking… maybe duck…?” “Good” Mary started off to get her coat. “Or may be a rabbit…” “A rabbit…?! Are you serious?” She paused. “Yes… I have heard that a rabbit is delicious…" “How could you… John, how could you even think about eating a rabbit…?” Mary looked really upset. John was now confused. “What is wrong with eating a rabbit? I have heard it is tastier than most of the meat” “Men!!! Everything for you is just taste! Have you ever taken some time to observe a rabbit’s eye…?” “No I haven’t…and if there is something wrong with a rabbit’s eye then we won’t eat the eye … But I am positive that there is nothing wrong with the meat of a rabbit…!” “What? I am talking about the innocence which is enriched in a rabbit’s eye… It’s so cute and cuddly … How can you think about hurting a creature so beautiful…?”Mary was trembling. John saw that her eyes were welling up. But the poor man couldn’t entirely understand the seriousness of the situation. “Wolfs and Lions eat rabbits all the time!” “You are not a beast! Are you John?” “I… Well…” “I can’t believe you find it hard to answer that question…!” John decided to present his argument. “So you think it’s ok to eat hens and ducks but not rabbits. That is hypocritical Mary!” “Well that’s because….” Now Mary was finding it hard to answer that question. “I will answer that for you…because rabbits are cuter, right?…That is such a shallow attitude…!” “I am not shallow… Hens and ducks are birds… So…” “So what…? You are sounding a little bit stupid if you ask me… Mary if you are a vegetarian then you can tell me ‘Don’t Eat Rabbits’! If you stop eating meat and then you can give me a lecture. And even if you are a vegetarian plants are also living things. In general…” Mary wasn’t listening to John’s scientific explanations. She was stuck on something which John said. “So you think I am stupid…?” “What?” “You think I am stupid, hypocritical and shallow. Is that it?” “That’s not the point” “Then what is the point…? If you think I am an idiot then why did you marry me?” “I don’t know… And I didn’t call you an idiot… Don’t be a liar Mary…!” ******************************************* Seven months later John found himself standing in front of his brother Jacob. Jacob was wearing a tux and John was helping him with his tie.Jacob was getting married in just an hour. “So any marital advice?” “You are asking for advice from a divorcee?” “Well…You are experienced…” “And I do know what not to do, right?” “Right.” Both of them smiled. “Ok then, Here goes. Be faithful. Be honest. Respect her. Never act superior around her even if you think you are superior. And of course the most important one; ‘DON’T EAT RABBITS’.
