How to Fool a Foolish Fool -Rafaet Raqib

One bright morning in the wonderfully wacky town of Bananaville, two best friends, Tipu and Tuktuki, sat under a mango tree, munching on banana chips and arguing over the most important question of the century:

“How do you fool a foolish?”

Tipu scratched his head so hard a coconut fell out of the tree.

Tuktuki gasped, “That’s it! We’ll start a Coconut School for Fools!”

So, they made a sign:

COCONUT SCHOOL FOR FOOLS — Learn to Be Brilliant in 3 Crunches!

Within minutes, their class was full — one student: Babu, the proud prince of Foolandia. He wore his pants on his head because he heard “smart people think upside down.”

Tipu welcomed him, “First lesson: How to Count Invisible Bananas.”

Babu squinted. “I see twelve!”

“Wrong!” said Tuktuki. “They’re invisible. You fail if you see any!”

Next lesson: “How to Catch a Cloud with a Spoon.”

Babu leapt around waving a spoon in the sky. “Almost got it!”
“Amazing effort,” Tipu whispered to Tuktuki, “but he’s catching mosquitoes.”

Final lesson: “How to Outsmart a Genius by Being More Foolish.”

Babu jumped on one leg, sang the alphabet backward in Pig Latin, and declared, “I AM THE KING OF FOOLS!”

Tipu and Tuktuki clapped. “Graduation time!”

They gave him a golden coconut and a diploma that read:

Certified Fool-Fooler, Level: MAXIMUM!

Babu bowed and left proudly with his shoes on his hands.
Tipu grinned. “So, how do you fool a foolish?”

Tuktuki chuckled, “Easy! Just open a school and let them fool themselves!”

And from that day on, Bananaville’s most famous school wasn’t a school at all — it was just two friends, a mango tree, and a whole lot of laughter.
(And the fool still thinks he’s a professor of clouds.)
