Forrest won't run!!

"Run Forrest, run"!!

But, this time Forrest did not run. He kept standing there as strong as a mountain.

"I have some other fish to fry", he said. His class mates kept throwing stones at him, till the stones got over.

Forrest thought, "Sometimes, there ain't enough stones".

All the boys got tired throwing stones at forrest and inevitably started panting. Forrest tried to imitate them: "uggh-uggh-uggh". Jenny got very scared and she started praying, "God, please turn us into birds, so that we can fly, far-far away". Though God did not turn them into birds, but He did send police men there for their rescue.

They caught all the boys. Two of the police men stayed back with them and one of them asked Forrest his name.

"My name's Gump, Forrest Gump", he said. They took them to their house. When the police man rang the bell at Forrest's house, his mother opened the door and was shocked to see two police men at her door step with Forrest and Jenny.

One of the police man asked her, "Where is Mr. Gump, Mrs. Gump"?

"He is on vaccation", she answered, hesitatingly.

Forrest snapped in between, "And if you don't know what 'vaccation' means, I'll tell you. It means, you go...and never come back".

"Are you some stupid or something"? the police man retorted.

Forerst said, "A stupid is what a stupid does".

The police men turned back and started to go. As they were stepping down the stairs, the sound of their shoes tapping on the stairs caught Forrest's attention.

"Those must be comfortable shoes", he said to the police men, pointing finger at their shoes.

Both of them turned back and one of them said, "If we take you downtown, life won't be comfortable for you".

Forrest did not understand what 'downtown' meant. But he did understand the life being uncomfortable for some reason. He said, "Momma says, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get".

Both the police men got irritated. The other one said, "Boy, do you have anything else to say, or do we go"?

"Yes", Forrest said.

Their faces drooped down with his answer.

"Say it fast", they ordered in unison.

"I've got to pee", he said and went inside.
