A father with great ambition for his son steps up to him sternly.

DAD: "I know this is just kindergarten BUT you have to get it together young. Here I'll make you a deal. If you come out first in your entire kindergarten I'll give you anything you want"

well the son was dumbfounded with the deal and studied as hard as his little head could and confident showed his dad the certificate customly made by his teacher acknowledging that he was first in the entire kindergarten and mind you it was a big one.

DAD: absolutely wonderful. So what will it be. A whole set of action figures, a custom made game console. oh whatever just name it!
SON: two pingpong balls dad. Just two will do.
DAD: errrrr are you quite sure. Well ok if that's what u really want.

the boy smiled and snatched the two pingpong balls from his fathers hand just after he bought it and ran up to his room.

DAD: what an odd boy.....

~several years pass by~

DAD: it's the UPSR and i want you to be the number one in the entire nation! If you do that I'll give you anything you want!

the boy now 10 (because he skipped a few years due to his excellent result) smiled agreeingly. He sat by the study table all day studying and wat do you know he was first in the nation.

DAD: Wonderful! So what will it be! A go-cart, how bout a race car. I'm sure you'll love that! so tell me what is it you want?
SON: two pingpong balls will do.
DAD. errr alright than two ping pong balls it is. what an odd little boy......

the boy smiled and now thanked him and snatched the pingpong balls from his hand and ran into his room.

~several years later~

DAD: I want you to have the most A's in the PMR in the whole nation for you. and hears the usual deal. do it and you'll get whatever you want.

the son smiled acknowledgingly. for the next 3 months he almost lived in the library. stuffing up facts and more facts into his head. and what do you know he got 15 A's for PMR.

DAD: so what is it you want. A mercedes? A helicopter? oh not another blasted pingpong ball.
SON: not a pingpong ball dad. two pingpong balls please.

his dad silenced himself. and went off to get the 2 pingpong balls. the boy was awfully delighted and pranced into his room with it.

~several years more~

DAD: i want you to be accepted into oxford with your SPM marks.
SON: what? Are you sure?
DAD: why of course? for that I'll give you anything you want.

his son grinned knowingly. he studied. And boy did he study! He got a brilliant idea of making it a topic of discussion in malaysia his persistent study. newspaper reporters flocked to the park where he sat in a gazebo studying day and night. they took pictures. they graphed progress. Well when it was results time as you know it he scored a bamboozzling 34 A's. with his result was a letter from 56 different universities all over the world offering degrees. of course this included oxford.

DAD: now tell me what you want anything at all.... the world perhaps?
SON: 2 pingpong balls will do....
DAD: don't be absurd.... are you sure. well at least let me use a helicopter to bring you to the shop to buy it...

his son smiled agreeingly.

the chopper took off. and a sudden crack!!!!! MAYDAY! it's crashing!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOM! the father and the son was propelled through great distances and pummeled into a bush. The son was dying and the father was paralyzed.

DAD: before you die tell me what is all thos ping pong balls for!!!!!
SON: Dad. i wanted the pingpong balls because becauuuuuuseeeeeeeeee ACK! (he died)
