P2 DAY ONE

I was reading aesopfables.com and I chanced upon these stories; The Old Women And The Physician, The Seagull And The Kite, The Swallow And The Crow as well as The Man And His Two Sweethearts.

I was trying to work an idea out for each of the story but I was stuck.

Then again, I chanced upon The Dancing Monkeys.

The story goes like this,
A PRINCE had some Monkeys trained to dance.  Being naturally
great mimics of men's actions, they showed themselves most apt
pupils, and when arrayed in their rich clothes and masks, they
danced as well as any of the courtiers. The spectacle was often
repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier,
bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and
threw them upon the stage. The Monkeys at the sight of the nuts
forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) Monkeys
instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their
robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing
spectacle thus came to an end amidst the laughter and ridicule of
the audience.
I think it's pretty cool because the moral of the story stated on the website was "Not everything you see is what it appears to be." which is to me, true.

It's something like don't judge a book by it's cover kind of thing. Mankind are too used to judge everything they see. For example, people tend to judge people according to their dressing and often they end up disappointing themselves.

From this, I developed a storyline.

I will have this main character which is Albert. He's a very good looking guy and everybody loves him. He treats people around him nicely but what they do not know is that he is actually a physcopath and he loves watching porn and had been secretly taking his female friends pictures all along. One day he was sick so didn't attend work so his friends decided to pay him a visit and when they went into his room, they got a shocked and left hurriedly.

This is just a rough idea so I shall let my groupmates know tomorrow and see what they say about it.
