The
Three Daughters
Once upon a time , there
lived a happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Ng with their 3 lovely daughters;
Elaine, Ena & Anele. The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper
way and when they reached 20, they were still virgins. Years passed,
and it was time to get them married.
So,the parents found
them the most suitable 'leng chais'. They got married and were preparing
to set-off on their honeymoon. As "concerned parents', Mr.&
Mrs. Ng were curious about their daughters' first-night experience.
So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons,
Mrs. Ng told them, "Your
father & I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether
you are satisfied. Write a letter to us, but as not to raise your husbands'
curiosity...use a code-name to describe your experiences".
So, the excited daughters
were off. A week passed. Mr. & Mrs. Ng got the first letter. It
was from Elaine. They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD
CHARTERED. They immediately took the newspaper and looked for Standard
Chartered advertisement.
"Ah! here it is!!!!"
exclaimed Mr. Ng. The motto for Standard Chartered was "BIG, STRONG
& FRIENDLY". Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy.
A week later, they
got another letter. This time it was from Ena. The content was simple.
"NESCAFE". So, again they took the neswpaper and looked for
the Nescafe ad.
'NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL
THE LAST DROP'. Mr. & Mrs. Ng jumped in joy.
Another week passed.
A month passed. 2 months passed. There was still no letter from Anele.
The Ngs became worried. Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and
could hardly be read, but Mrs. Ng managed to figure it out. The code-name
was "CATHAY PACIFIC".
Mr. Ng rushed to the
nearest store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically.
"Aah! here it is!!!" Mrs. Ng grabbed the page and read aloud.
Before she could finish it....THUMP!!!!!!...she fell off her chair.
The ad read.....
"7
DAYS A WEEK. 3 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP"
