The young beetle Pajopara . ~ The Ink Well Prompt #83

in The Ink Well2 years ago

In a world of fantasy, where dreams come true and where everything is possible, instead of this fantastic world, a village made up of insects of all kinds.



We can find a young beetle named Pajopara, the young beetle came from a distant place in search of a better life, since young Pajopara was orphaned because his parents died by a fire caused by a giant creature, the young beetle could observe everything from a distance and manages to escape the fire, thanks to the water that was thrown by another giant creature.

Since that day, Pajopara began to wander the world looking for a place to settle down, carrying with him a small box where he stored food, tools and some memories of the life he had with his parents, but he did not understand why those giant creatures caused such damage and why he was saved that day.

Pajopara, being in town, begins to look for a place to stay for several days and to look for a job while he is in town, in order to be able to resupply himself with food, he saw that several days passed and nothing to find a job, he had no choice but to start making key chains and sell them himself, Pajopara had already made 100 units and began to sell, the first day of sales was not as he expected, the next day he began to sell quickly and surprised that he almost ran out of key chains, at night he made twice as much as he had made the first time.

On the third day, when he starts selling, a young larva comes to him and says "You are the one who makes the beautiful key chains". Pajopara is surprised and answers "Of course, it's me, what do you need". The young larva "I need you to sell me 1000 units, if you have them ready for me by tomorrow, I will pay you 5 times the price you sell them for". Pajopara thinks for a moment that with the total of the sale of 1000 units, he would be able to buy everything he needs to replenish his box and that it could be enough to buy a space to create his home, so he accepts and gives him the address of the place where he is staying to sleep.

A few hours later when he was on his way to where he was staying to sleep, he came across a young ant that had just arrived in town and remembered when he also arrived in town without knowing anyone and without receiving any help, the young ant approached him to ask if he knew a place where he could spend the night, Pajopara, remembered when he arrived in town for the first time and introduced himself, then offered his help and work, after that he went to where he was staying so that the young ant could rest and when they were walking they stopped to buy food for dinner.

Once in the house that the young beetle had rented, the young ant apologizes for not having introduced himself earlier and tells him that his name is Pajo and that he came from a distant place that was south of the village, then Pajopara tells him that he can make himself comfortable and that when the food is ready he will call him.



Several minutes passed and Pajopara called Pajo to go to eat, when they were eating the young ant asked him what was the job he had offered him, Pajopara told him that he made key chains and that if he accepted to work with him, he would also teach him how to make it, but after we eat and rest the food.

After 2 hours had passed and they began to manufacture it, little by little the young beetle Pajopara began to teach him the manufacturing process, when 4 hours had already passed he had 1200 key chains ready, Pajopara tells Pajo "Hey, you can go to rest, so that tomorrow first thing in the morning you can deliver the order". Pajo goes to sleep.

After a few hours they went to deliver the order, when they arrived at the larva they gave him the amount ordered and the larva told him that if he had made only 1000 units and Pajopara told him that he still had 200 key rings left, the larva told him that he also wanted it and when they made more he would take it to him.



So Pajopara bought the land and gave Pajo a plot of land to build his house, Pajopara achieved his dream of owning his own house and a very good business, together with his new friend Pajo.


He wished to his bones that his family would no longer be poor and that there would be no more poor families in his village, then he tossed the coin and fell to his knees weeping with happiness.

Beautifully done and well devised. What a sweet, sweet uplifting tale, if only we could all have an assistant we trust and a method towards economic freedom. Totally lovely!

Please be certain to engage with other writers and comment on their stories.

@theinkwell, thank you for your comment, for me it is a pleasure to participate in the contest and to support other writers.

I love the beetle and the ant. I love the keychains and what they mean for the industrious duo. Very grand 🤗❤️💕❤️❤️🤗🤗💕

@itsostylish, Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you liked it, I thought about drawing the beetle next to the ant, but I remember why I didn't do it. I just hope to get better at drawing in paint and improve more in my stories.

I like stories that use other life forms aside human as characters. It reminds me of the folktales my mom used to tell me and my siblings when I was little. They always had a moral at the end and some singing too.

@warpedpoetic, Thank you for your comment. You know but I remember this is my second story of this type, I always remember the stories that my mother told me when I was a child and before I did not feel so prepared to write this kind of story, now that I feel a little more prepared I am writing them, it really makes me happy that like me someone else remembers when I was little, I appreciate your comment.

You're welcome bro. 🖤👏🏿

I am glad htat the beetle was lucky enough to have s good order and to own his house, it is frustrating to have the whole life that could be fit only in a little box.

Yay! 🤗
