Autobiography of a Laptop


My name is Laptop

I was made in China and sold by a Chinese to a Greek .

When I arrived in the town of Greece many people wanted to buy me. There were about thirteen customers.

By that time Corona Virus or Covid -19 had spread in most countries. So, when the 1st person was examining me, he saw my 'Made in China' mark and left in a hurry, saying-" I don't need your Covid full laptop!"

That made me sad. Can you guess what happened to the twelve others wanting to buy me? Of course, the same thing .It made me sadder and sadder.

Then, a cheerful man came by .😀

"Hi Zeus!" said the man to my shopkeeper.

"Akhenhaten ! What are you doing here? Surely you must not be out here to buy a China made laptop!" called out my shopkeeper Zeus with a smile. "Really! Well, where is that laptop? Surely you cannot be selling a China manufactured laptop?" said Akhenhaten  , sighing.

"Oh well…..I am ! It was sold to me by a Chinese! I thought it was manufactured in some other place , not China! Otherwise I would not have bought it ." said Zeus sadly. "Because of this reason, no one wants to buy it! " Then Zeus looked up at Akhenhaten with happiness.

"I will" said Akhenhaten. "You know, in my country, Egypt, the same thing happened .I bought a dozen scissors (to sell) , and came to know they were made in China!"

And so, Akhenhaten bought me.

All the people in Akhenhaten's village said, "How foolish Akhenhaten is to buy Covid full things!" I didn't understand why they said that. He only bought me!

Later I understood .

Most of Akhenhaten 's belongings were made in China. Turns out he had found that shopkeepers were selling Chinese products having the same sad story as Zeus and Akhenhaten had bought them .He never used me or the other Chinese products. He had been living with Chinese products for seven months!

Poor Akhenhaten died soon afterwards of Corona Virus. Me and the other Chinese products have been gathering dust since then.😔
