![]() "The Three Travelers and the Case of the Missing Wisdom"A Story by Gregoria Somol Ahmed![]() A humorous and lively tale of three travelers—Jeyona, Krisha, and Aleda—each navigating life’s lessons in their own unique (and chaotic) way, leading to a hilarious and heartwarming conclusion about w![]() Once upon a time (at least that’s what they claim), three travelers stumbled upon a very confusing crossroad. Or was it a “sporkroad”? Because three paths fanned out, and naturally, they couldn’t agree on which way to go. First up, Jeyona the Adventurous puffed out her chest. “Life is for the brave! I say we take the steep, rocky trail "it’s bound to be the most character-building!” She dramatically adjusted her boots like she was starring in her own action movie. Next, Krisha the Observant raised one skeptical eyebrow. “Jeyona, why risk spraining your character? I’ll just wait and see which path looks safest after someone else tries.” She pulled out a notebook, ready to jot down other people’s mistakes. Lastly, Aleda the Carefree grinned, shrugged, and said, “Paths? Who cares about paths? Let’s just walk wherever and see what happens!” Then she confidently strode forward…straight into a mud puddle. The Journey of Chaos Jeyona took the rocky trail, tripping over rocks, battling mysterious biting plants, and getting chased by a goat that clearly had anger issues. By the time she made it out, she was scratched, bruised, and oddly smug. “What an experience!” she cheered, holding up a suspiciously goat-chewed boot. Krisha, meanwhile, studied every traveler who passed before her. She finally chose the smooth-looking middle path "only to discover it led into a very enthusiastic swamp. She spent the next hour swatting at mosquitoes and negotiating with frogs that seemed too curious about her notebook. And Aleda? Well, her mud-puddle wanderings led her to stumble (literally) upon an abandoned treasure chest. But instead of opening it, she sat on it to snack on mangoes and talk to a passing bird. “Who needs treasure when you have vibes?” she announced to no one in particular. The Great Debate When the three regrouped at the end, Jeyona boasted, “I survived a goat! I am clearly the wisest.” Krisha snorted. “Sure, if ‘wisdom’ means bleeding and limping. I outsmarted everyone and found the swamp "that’s strategy.” Aleda tilted her head. “Guys…I found treasure. But mangoes were better, so I left it.” They all stared at her. “You WHAT?!” In the end, none of them could agree who was the wisest. But they laughed so hard they got hiccups, shared Krisha’s soggy notebook as fire fuel, and high-fived to this conclusion: “Sometimes, life isn’t about the path you choose "it’s about surviving the goat, dodging frogs, and laughing like fools!”
