14. Abandoned

Though Ah-pui had lots to say, like laughing at Ah-moe, saying he's stupid, scolding him for being useless etc, she decided not to open her mouth. One of the few wise decisions by her though, for she would have been bound and gagged too.

And so, one by one, they were given the right boot into the waters once again, after which, an old plank the size of a door was thrown in, landing right smack on Ah-mo.

"Aye! 谁敲我的头? 开灯leh! 很暗leh!" bubbled Ah-mo underwater as he struggled to untangle himself from the plank that was impaled on his rigid hair. After much effort, Ah-mo finally managed to surface, breaking away more than a quarter of the plank.

The motors had already roared away in the distance, and once again it was all quiet, and they were all left to drift on the plank to that nearby island.

"死Ah-mo! 不要吃liao hor!?!"

"Mmm... 好吃极了..." mumbled Ah-mo as he took another bite of the plank, completely ignoring Ah-moe.

"笨Ah-mo! 我给你吃这个er!" a screaming Ah-moe plunged his fist into Ah-mo's gaping mouth.

And so, two figures at a distance at sea wrestling with each other clutching a broken plank, with three others in the same violently rocking plank desperately trying to stop them. Untying them was a pretty dreadful mistake by Ah-moo.

(Footnote: Ah-mo and Ah-moe managed to swallow the rags that they were gagged with. It's a tough job trying to gag them as they swallow everything.)
