Woman hospitalised by tiger painting
A Chinese pensioner had to be taken to hospital after she mistook a painting of a tiger for the real thing.
The woman, in her 70s, spotted the 'tiger' in a dark alleyway after shopping at a nearby supermarket.
According to Shanghai Evening Post, she screamed, turned and ran after seeing a 'tiger' coming at her.
But the woman, who the paper named as Mrs Wang, slipped on ice and fell heavily.
Passersby rushed to Mrs Wang's aid to find her nervously stammering: "Tiger, tiger, there's a tiger" and pointing down the alleyway.
But the tiger turned out to be a painting hung in a calligraphy and painting shop window.
To draw business, the shop owner had put a light behind the paint to create a lifelike impression.
See what happens when u believe everything you see. Bodoh, bodoh tapi kesian eh. Well blind faith in the surface is a very dangerous thing. What do i mean? I mean if u take everything at face value, believe in everything someone says or judge a person by his/her outlook ur bound to get burned..or in the case of Mrs. Wang, bummed. Well she may be damn old but blind-faith-in-surface syndrome is something that afflicts almost everyone at one point or another. Everyone's been guilty of indulging in the odd rumour or two. And for every genuine good person out there, there's bound to be that insecure prick who revels in spreading defamatory stories abt someone else just to soothe their insecurities. But hey, life's like that rite? U got to deal wit the good and the bad. I dun care anymore lah...think what u want to think of me. I'm happy with my Winston in one hand and a good dvd playin on my small 21" tv....lalalalelelelilili. that's all for today. thank you. come again.
(hehehe just bought meself the harold & kumar dvd...so very the happy)
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
