The current Corona pandemics has once again brought American ire against China. US is certain that the China is the source of all the Pandemic fiasco. This reminds me of the the wolf who picked a quarrel with Wu Hu, the Lamb. The wolf startled a lamb drinking from a stream. He said in an unfriendly voice. “Didn’t you start this pandemic?
“No I did not” Wu Hu said, ” You tell me what is this Pandemic ?
Wolf tried to explain what Corona was. “It is like Flue, It is a sneeze, a sniffle a gunk,” The wolf spluttered and all his cofefe in his word book were exhausted. He snapped, “It is virus.”.
“I don’t get it, Mr. Wolf” Wu Hu said still perplexed. At this the wolf got hopping mad. In a rage he shrieked, “That is the problem. You set the Yellow peril going round the world, and you don’t take the blame for your negligence.”
“I am going to make you pay, real bad” The wolf said. “Dollars, Trillions of it,” He added.
“That is the only way I shall be satisfied.” The wolf said in the end.
“But that will be against all international obligations !’ Wu Hu was aghast, “You will be seen as the most obnoxious wolf by all animals. High crime!”Wu Hu was certain.
The wolf let out a mighty laugh, “Me a criminal? It is fake news if I have my way.”
Now the President of the US is planning to make China pay up for Corona pandemics. Against this background here is some fact:”
China has steadily accumulated U.S. Treasury securities over the last few decades. As of December 2019, the Asian nation owns $1.07 trillion, or about 5%, of the $23 trillion U.S. national debt, which is more than any other foreign country.
Which way the wind is blowing, the reader may guess. If the world were a bowl of jelly! Blow Blow, Blow!

The dolphin on a steady diet of micro-granules of plastic and after a loss of her sucklings due to several miscarriages said all in a fluster, “Oh I am carrying a dangerous cargo.” She added, “My self control is gone and my bile is up !” Like a banshee she screamed,”Death to the foul fiend whose heart is a cash box and his soul as silly as plastic!” She dived to the bottom and the ape at last made bed in a pile of plastic he had happily made ubiquitous.” Aesop at the end said, “You will call it poetic justice.” Pie the monkey said in an injured tone, “There you killed me off once again!” He was wroth.
The monkey cried loud enough and long enough till a dolphin came up to enquire: “Are you in trouble?”
