Life

He was touring alone, using a rental car and booking accommodation as he travelled around the country. This was the holiday he had been promising himself for several years. Ever since his tenure at the university was made permanent. Giving never-ending lectures on human biology, could take a back seat. This was a completely different life. The narrow road that passed through the place had very old and interesting buildings on either side. He was creeping along, gazing around, mesmerised by the sights. He became aware of the fact that he was becoming quite emotional about what he was seeing. He couldn’t help feeling that the people here had such a wonderful life.

He spotted a café and parked. Getting out of the car and taking in the surroundings made him realise how much his current life, back in the city, lacked so much of the real beauty that the world had to offer.

Naturally, as he entered, the café owner eyed him as an unexpected stranger, but was very patient taking his order for a coffee; this being done mainly through mime.

The cafe had a veranda at the back that had sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. He sat, waiting for his coffee. He had never been more completely at ease and comfortable with his surroundings. Such a place was worlds away from the gloomy halls of academia.

The owner came through with his drink and smiled as he put it down.

He thanked him and pointed out into the distance. “I must say, this is a lovely, little village, you really couldn’t ask for more, could you?”

“Eh?”

“I mean to say, just look at it out there, the magnificent view down into the valley below.”

The other repeated, “Eh?”

“Ah! So sorry. You don’t speak English.”

The man shrugged. “Sorry, only little English, some words, not much.”

The tourist nodded. “Sorry, I was commenting on life here.”

The man frowned. “What is… life?”

“Ah! A good question. Life for me, as a human on this planet, is made up of a great number of different organisms that, to a greater or lesser degree, have the physical ability to mature, reproduce and reason.”

The man’s expression was hard to read. Before walking away, he pointed to the coffee and said, “Enjoy.”
