After the interview with Mrs SA,here's the interview with Mrs Pride.(I know I'm crazy!)
I reached the top of a hill. It was said that there I could find Mrs Pride. I looked around,but there wasn't any towel or palace or house there,only huge mountains and green hills. I finally thought I'd taken a wrong way,when I heard a voice from behind:
- Hey,you! I turned my head but saw nothing.
- Who are you? I cried. Can't see you!
- How are you supposed to see me,if you look down,you silly! Look up!
I looked at a high mountain opposite me,but still saw nothing.
- At the top! Said the voice again. I finally looked at the highest top and saw a woman through the fog. Gosh! She was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen! She was wearing a horrible grey dress and a large hat,like a clown. She had straight brown hair and a very long nose,like a broom. Just terrible! But I'd found her,so I asked:
- Hey,you up the mountain,do you know where can I find Mrs Pride? She was supposed to be here!
- So true! Said that horrible woman. How about me?
I was ready to fall down. I didn't expect that. I thought that Mrs Pride would live in a high towel,pretty dressed and never imagined that she was a monster!
- Is it you? I asked. I didn't know it cause...
- Yes,sge interuupted. I know that you got excited by my beauty! Everyone gets like that while seeing me! They don't expect all this charm!
Did she think she was attractive?!
- No,it's not that,I just would say...
- I know,I know,she interrupted again. You don't have to say it! I'm bored with the same compliments again and again!
Ugh! I decide to let her talk first,cause if I started,she would always interrupt me! So,I said nothing. Indeed,after a couple of minutes,she spoke:
- So,who are you and what do you want?
- I want an interview from you. I've taken some other interviews too.
- Ha,ha! She laughed. And you didn't start from me,the best of all? You should ask me first,the queen of the world!
Ah,she never changed,so I decided to have a little fun:
- I'll explain,I said. Haven't you heard before that the best is left for the end?
- Hmm...ok then! She relaxed. You can start!
- Can you come down here first? I'm tired of looking up!
- Are you insane? She cried. You say me to come down? ME?
- OK then,I'm coming up!
- Don't move! Nobody should come here!
- Alright,I'm leaving then! No interview and no one will learn about you! I said.
- Don't,wait! She cried. Let it be,I'm coming to the hill,so you can see how beautifully I walk! But you can't come here!
I should be very patient so as to speak with her! I waited for her to come,but saw that she couldn't come down,maybe cause she was always high. But as you can imagine,she wouldn't admit that,so when she saw that she couldn't move,she said:
- You know,I changed my mind. I think that you should come up,as I don't want to get tired. Did you want me to get tired? Shame on you!
I didn't reply,just went up and started asking:
- So,Mrs Pride,I really want to learn if you have a house. Why do you stay here,on the top of a mountain?
- A house? But everything is my house,you idiot! I rule everything! Mountains,valleys,everything you see it's mine!
- What? And who said that? Who gave you the power to take them?
- Nobody! I gave the power to myself! Do you think that I would beg anybody?
- I don't know,I only know that these belong to God! I said.
- God? She asked. Who's God? I'm the queen of the world!
- Do you mean that people love you?
- They adore me! Come,I'll show you! And shocked,I saw her taking a huge map of the world,full of coloured baloons,others big,ready to burst and others small.
- What is all this? I asked full of surprise.
- It's a representation of people's hearts,she explained. See? Others ready to burst due to their pride,others not yet and others are humble.
- And what if they burst?
- Oh,that's my favourite! Then people get mad form their pride! Haven't you heard this before? She asked me.
- Yes,I have. Tell me,how do you feel here on the top,alone?
- Eh...great of course! I'm the great Mrs Pride! But tell me,who gave you the power to make questions? Who other did you queston before me? Who are you going to question next?
- Sorry,but I'm supposed to make questions! I protested.
- Shut up! When Mrs Pride asks something,you just answer!
- Well no! I said ,very angry. The interview it's over,that's enough! I'm leaving!
- You idiot! I'll kill you! I ran quickly and got down. Then,I shouted :
- You are an idiot! How will you kill me,when you can't come down? You can't,you can't! And I left,leaving her behind. I could hear her blaming. Our conversation made me think after all. That lady was deeply desperate. She rejected everybody and therefore she was alone. I understood that I wasn't really angry with her. I was sorry for her.
