Traitorous Night: From Donkey to Wolf in Pursuit of the Red Planet
Day One:
I sat down with the donkey " Juhash" today. I tried to convince him that colonizing Mars would benefit everyone—even donkeys! I said, "Hey Juhash, just imagine how great it would be if we moved to Mars, where life is clean and free from all the Earth noise! You wouldn’t just be hauling hay; you could become famous as the first donkey to travel to Mars!"
Juhash twitched his ears and replied, "So, if we go there, we might be like humans?"
I said, "Exactly! We could evolve and even rule the world!"
He nodded, as if he was convinced… or maybe just trying to swat away an annoying fly.
Day Two:
I met with the mule "Farfoor" today. He was busy running in circles aimlessly, as usual. I told him, "Farfoor, you can't run forever! On Mars, you'll have endless open spaces where you can run without stopping!"
Farfoor paused for a second and asked, "So you want me to run while you say we should go to Mars?"
I replied, "Of course! There, you won’t be running in circles; it'll all be one big adventure!"
He went back to running, as if he was convinced—or maybe just thinking.
Day Three:
I gathered with the sheep "Na'na" today. I said, "Na'na, why are we fighting over grass and pasture here? The Red Planet will be full of opportunities! We can live without barriers, and the grass will grow from our own hands!"
Na'na looked at me and said, "Are you sure there’s grass on Mars? I heard it’s a red desert!"
I laughed and said, "That’s why we want to colonize Mars; we’ll grow whatever we want and live in peace."
She shook her head and wandered off… maybe deep in thought, or just looking for some nearby green grass.
Day Four:
I met the wolf "Firas" today, and he was excited. I told him, "On the Red Planet, there will be a bigger flock of sheep—your chance to thrive!"
The wolf grinned and said, "You get me! I’ll be the king of the red land!"
I replied, "Absolutely! We’ll build a new community there, and you’ll play a big role in organizing it."
Firas laughed and asked, "Where do we start?"
I said, "Soon, my friend, soon…"
Day Five:
I met with the lion "Raad," the king of the jungle. I said, "Raad, on Mars, real power doesn’t come from muscles, but from planning and control!"
He looked at me disdainfully and said, "I’m the king of Earth; I don’t need a new planet."
I replied, "But Mars will be kingless; you could be its first king!"
He thought for a moment, then went back to munching on a nearby gazelle… looks like he needs more time.
Day Six:
The cheetah "Barq" was super quick to reject the idea. I said, "The Red Planet needs speed and decisiveness, and you’re the best fit for that."
Barq replied, "The fastest thing I need right now is to escape your talk," and then he sprinted away… maybe one day he’ll understand that true speed is heading toward Mars.
Day Seven:
I returned to the donkey "Juhash" and told him, "Hey Juhash, on Mars we’ll all become great, from donkey to lion!"
He looked at me sadly and said, "Maybe, but in the end, I’m still a donkey, and I don’t think things will change on Mars."
At that moment, I realized even donkeys have a clearer vision…
