This container is no ordinary container. It is a magical one, much like Aladdin’s lamp for it contains a portent liquid that conjures up spirits that possesss us and make us do amazing things with full gusto. It’s the so beautiful, so elegant, just tasting like a wow coffee decoction!
It occupies a coveted position on the top shelf of the refrigerator behind a few other containers, ostensibly to ensure that it does not topple and fall. Perfectly understandable, since the liquid is manna for many. It is cumbersome though, because each time you need to take it out , you need to navigate your way through a host of food containers before you manage it reach it. I have done it a million times and I have never failed. Yesterday a mishap occured. It slipped from my hand and landed on the ground. I quickly picked it up , relieved that the liquid hadn’t spilt out. A minute later I realised what had happened. The lid would not turn. It was stuck . Everyone at home tried to open it but to no avail.
It stood on the table, cutting a rather sorry figure, as we walked past, helplessly.
And then an idea struck. I picked it up and gave it a hit on the head and lo behold ! The errant lid turned. Our day’s supply of coffee was ensured.
