The Useless Doggy Poo
By Brian Kim
It was a very cold winter day, people on the street shivered in the cold. Among the people, a small dog also crawled. Suddenly, the dog stopped and pooped on the street. The small dog left the poo alone and disappeared. No one cared about the poo. On the cold winter days, the doggy poo remained alone.
“Where am I? And who am I?” the doggy poo said. But no one listened to the poo. While the poo was shivering, a beautiful bird landed on the street and sat next to the poo.
The poo asked the bird “What is your name?”
“A doggy poo doesn't have to know my name,” the bird answered insincerely.
“Please help me. I am too cold,” the poo asked.
“Why should I help you? You are just a useless doggy poo!” the bird said.
“Am I useless doggy poo? Then do you have any reason for being?” the poo asked.
“See! I have beautiful wings and sharp beak. Many birds are envious of me. That’s my reason for existence. Don’t compare me with useless doggy poo!” the birds said angrily.
“Yes... You look very beautiful. Other birds must be envious of you,” the poo said.
“Well, I have to fly into the blue sky. My friends are waiting for me,” the bird said.
“What? Are you going to leave now? Please stay with me a little bit longer. I don’t have friend so I am too lonely,” the poo requested.
“What are you talking about? I am not your friend! Beautiful bird and useless doggy poo can’t be friends!” the bird said angrily and started to attack the doggy poo with its sharp paws.
The bird left and again, the poo was left alone. The poo wondered why it was created. ‘Am I really useless? But then, why did the god create me?’ The poo couldn't find the reason.
It got colder and began to snow. The doggy poo was buried deep under the snow. It was much warmer. Since the snow covered the doggy poo, it couldn’t see anything. It felt boring and soon fell asleep.
Few days later, the doggy poo woke up because of the sound of laughter outside. Some kids were playing on the streets. Some of them were making snowmen and some of them were having a snowball fight. Nobody knew where it is. A boy stepped on the poo and fell down. Many kids surrounded the poo.
“Why is dirty poo here?” the boy said angrily.
“Yes! This poo shouldn’t have been created,” the kids said all together and began to pierce it with pointed branches. The doggy poo really felt painful and sad. The poo wondered why it was created but again, it couldn’t find the reason. ‘Yes… I am useless doggy poo. There’s no reason for the existence. I should die,’ the doggy poo thought deeply and fell asleep.
While the poo was sleeping, it got warmer. The snow started to melt so the poo was visible. A old man who looked like a farmer walked through the street with his crops.
“Why is this valuable resource here?” the old man was surprised and took it to his house.
“It’s very warm here. Where am I?” the doggy poo woke up and told to itself. “Aha! I am so useless so I died. So here must be heaven. But what are those green trees and blue sky? What?! This is not heaven, this is someone’s garden!” the doggy poo was very surprised.
“Hello! What is your name?”
The doggy poo looked around and found a small sprout. “Did you ask my name? I don’t have a name. Everybody calls me useless doggy poo. Just call me useless doggy poo. Who are you?” the doggy poo said.
“I am a tulip!” the sprout said. “How did you get here?”
“I can’t remember… On cold winter days, I was covered with snow. I was feeling painful and sad. Finally, I fell asleep but it is sure that I didn’t die yet. I should have died… I am so useless,” the doggy poo cried.
“What are you talking about? Do you not know how you are necessary in the nature? I can’t be a beautiful flower without you! You are useful manure!” The tulip said.
“Are you kidding me? Everybody said that I am very useless and dirty,” the poo said.
“I can prove that you are very important. Come up to me!” the tulip said to the hesitant poo.
The doggy poo thought carefully. ‘I can be helpful to the beautiful flower? I am not a useless doggy poo!’ After few seconds, it went near the tulip and hugged.
“It’s very warm thank you,” the tulip whispered to the doggy poo.
The spring was coming.

“Where am I? And who am I?” the doggy poo said. But no one listened to the poo. While the poo was shivering, a beautiful bird landed on the street and sat next to the poo.
