The Agony of Elsa

Albay province is located in the southern part of Luzon in the Philippines. The province is bounded by the Lagonoy Gulf and Camarines Sur on the north-northwest; the Pacific Ocean on the east; the province of Sorsogon on the south; and the Burias Pass on the southeast.

The province is generally mountainous with scattered fertile plains and valleys. Approximately 40 percent of the land area is flat, surrounded by the mountains of Masaraga, Malinao, Pantao, and Mayon Volcano, which is the most famous landform!

Albay is one of the most typhoon-prone provinces in the Philippines. The area is located on the typhoon belt and experiences this hazard at the average of two major destructive typhoons per year.

In November 2006, Albay was one of the areas hardest-hit by Typhoon Reming. Reming was one of the most deadly and destructive tropical cyclones to ever ravage the Philippines! The typhoon brought 466 millimeters of rainfall, the highest in 40 years. A number of communities in Albay were immediately buried under tons of rocks and mud that rushed down from the Mayon Volcano’s slopes during the typhoon. Aside from Reming, three other major typhoons hit Albay in 2006: Tropical Storm Caloy, Typhoon Milenyo, and Typhoon Seniang!

People in Albay, being no stranger to storms, know - based on experience rather than on theory - that before the heavy rainfall or the sometimes very destructive strong wind arrives, a period of calmness usually takes place! This is what we call "The lull or calm before the storm!" The lull or calm before the storm is a period before or during a storm when suddenly everything goes eerily quiet, and the air seems still and calm, then afterward heavy rainfall or strong winds lashes out its fury!

The lull or calm before the storm is also an idiomatic expression which means: " a quiet period just before a period of great activity or excitement." And it is with this idiomatic expression that I wish to describe Elsa's 1st day in the School Library as a Student Assistant Majoring in Cleaning!

As you are very much aware by now, the story that you are currently reading, is a narration of a very sad story about the miserable life of a Simple Schoolgirl named Elsa Ragoza! The title above would definitely give you a hint that nothing in this story would be fairytale like! If the title of this story isn't enough, allow me then to rewrite what I wrote in The Lousy Letter: " It is my sad duty to inform you that this story is filled with sad, miserable and unpleasant events in the life of a young girl named Elsa! In this page you will also read about children going to bed hungry, love evaded women, truth clouded with doubts, stormy weather, ant bites, wet socks, old green jackets and crumpled paper. "

I know very well that I have given you - my dear readers - enough warning to be aware at this point that nothing in this story will ever favor Elsa! You should also be aware that when things appear to be going smoothly, it is actually just a very brief period of calmness that will precede great sadness and sorrow! Allow me to once again say that: Elsa's 1st day in the School Library as a Student Assistant Majoring in Cleaning is just the calm before the storm!

Elsa's 1st day in the School Library as a Student Assistant Majoring in Cleaning is just the calm before the storm because on Elsa's 2nd day in the Library as a Student Assistant Majoring in Cleaning, she met Minerva Jalova's clerks! This meeting is the start of yet another set of agonies!

Allow me - at this point - to segue for a while so that I could introduce you to Minerva Jalova's clerks! Minerva Jalova, the Lenient Librarian has 3 clerks. The Lenient Librarian's clerks are friends of Glenda or Marissa Soccorro G. Hampto the Pinheaded Principal! The Lenient Librarian's clerks who happens to be Glenda or Marissa Soccorro G. Hampto the Pinheaded Principal's friends - if I were to be really honest and straight to the point - lacks the following virtues: Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, and Humility!

The names of Minerva Jalova's clerks are: Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita! Josefina's full name is Josefina Acedia Jalandoni. She is an old aged woman with very elongated chin. Josefina is very lazy! Josefina hates working. Josefina enjoys sleeping, specially during work hours! Klarizza's full name is Klarizza Luxuria Capaguin. She is a middle aged woman with very thick lips. Klarizza is very raunchy! Klarizza loves talking about sex. Klarizza enjoys reading pornographic magazines, specially during work hours! Emerlita's full name is Emerlita Invidia Cantos. She is also an old aged woman with very huge nose. Emerlita is always very envious of other people. Emerlita hates seeing others happy and contented. Emerlita enjoys talking ill about other people, specially during work hours! Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks have been friends for a very long time!

Now that I have already introduced you to Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita, the Contriving Clerks, allow me to continue on with my narration of Elsa's agonies by telling you what happen with the Simple Schoolgirl's 2nd day in the Library as a Student Assistant Majoring in Cleaning!

It was actually exactly 7:30 in the morning when Elsa arrived at the School Library of St. John's Academy to report to Minerva Jalova. Miverva Jalova has been in her office since 7:00, this is 30 minutes early than her official schedule. Minerva Jalova has never been late with any of her obligations! Minerva Jalova knows the value of time! Minerva Jalova also believe in the old saying that: "Time is Gold!" Minerva Jalova always sees to it that she seizes every moment of each day! Minerva Jalova always does everything that she could do in all given opportunity!

Minerva Jalova, upon seeing Elsa arrive, talked with the Simple schoolgirl and once again assured Elsa that there is nothing that she should worry about while she is in the Library. Elsa was happy with what Minerva Jalova told her.

At around 8:34 in the morning, an hour and 4 minutes after the official time, the contriving clerks arrived! Josefina was looking sleepy as usual. Klarizza was talking about sex as usual. And Emerlita was talking ill about other people as usual. The Contriving Clerks did not bother to greet Minerva Jalova as they passed by the Lenient Librarian's office! The Contriving Clerks did not even offer an alibi as to why they all came in late. The Contriving Clerks obviously does not recognize Minerva Jalova's authority over them! The Contriving Clerks, unlike most of the school's employee, disrespect Minerva Jalova. The Contriving Clerks dispespect the Lenient Librarian because Glenda or Marissa Soccorro G. Hampto the Pinheaded Principal is their friend!

Now, almost immediately after arriving, Josefina quickly grabbed the day's newspaper and pretended to read through the pages. The truth though is, Josefina already closed her eyes to take a nap! Klarizza on the other hand, quickly escaped to a vacant room near Minerva Jalova's office. There she pretended to be fixing something when infact she was already browsing over her newly bought pornographic magazine! Emerlita, unlike the other two, did not bother pretending! She shamelessly grabbed the phone and started dialing. She did not bother pretending to be talking with another clerk from another office in school. In a loud voice, Emerlita talked with her Kumare! Emerlita is heard talking about how envious she is of their other Kumare who has just bought a new dress!

Elsa, who was still inside Minerva Jalova's office when the Contriving Clerks arrived, witnessed the actions of the Contriving Clerks! Elsa got very frightened at what she just saw but she tried brushing her fears aside. Elsa, despite being scared at what she saw, still hoped that she could get along well with Minerva Jalova's clerks!

Minerva Jalova also noticed the frightened look at Elsa's face. Minerva Jalova understands Elsa's reactions. Minerva Jalova actually knows that the Contriving Clerks does not like her. Minerva Jalova knows the real attitude of Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita. Minerva Jalova knows that the reason why the Contriving Clerks behave the way they do towards her is because they are Glenda or Marissa Soccorro G. Hampto the Pinheaded Principal's friends. Minerva Jalova has seen many people like the Contriving Clerks! Minerva Jalova knows that people like the Contriving Clerks should be dealt with great patience!

Twenty seven minutes after the Contriving Clerks arrived, and seeing that Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita have already "settled down" a bit, Minerva Jalova introduce the Simple Schoolgirl to Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita! At first Elsa was really very scared and was obviously trembling as she was introduced to Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita! But, when all three greeted her back with a "Hello!", Elsa started being optimistic again! Elsa, looking at the beauty behind the misery, quickly trusted Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita with just 1 Hello! Elsa then thought that Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita only acted they way they did when they first arrived in the Library that day because they are very preoccupied! Elsa also thought that given the time, Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita may turn out to be very kind people afterall! Elsa also thought that in the case of Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita, the term: "First impression is lasting." doesn't really apply!

After introducing Elsa to Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita, Minerva Jalova went back to her office. Before leaving Elsa with Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita, Minerva Jalova told Elsa to approach her if there is anything that she will be needing. Minerva Jalova also told Elsa that she does not have to work on anything that day. All that she needs to do is observe how Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita perform their individual task.

Elsa tried hanging along with Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita the whole day! Elsa tried observing how Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita perform their individual task. But Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita did not perform any task! Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita simply continued doing what they have started doing when they first arrived in the Library. Josefina continued sleeping, Klarizza continued browsing through her pornographic magazine, and Emerlita continued being busy talking with someone over the phone! Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks completely neglected their work that day, stopping only during scheduled break and lunch time!

Elsa, seeing that a lot of task has been left undone, started working around! Elsa did the clippings, a task that is assigned to Josefina. After doing the clippings, Elsa also arranged the books on the shelves, a task that is assigned to Klarizza. After arranging the books on the shelves, Elsa also wrapped some of the old books with transparent plastic cover, a task that was assigned to Emerlita! After doing all the tasks that was originally assigned to Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita, Elsa also cleaned the entire Library! By late afternoon, a few minutes before dismissal, the entire Library is already very well organized! But Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita did not even thank Elsa for taking over their jobs! Infact, before leaving the Library 10 minutes early that what is scheduled, Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita all went inside Minerva Jalova's office to tell the Lenient Librarian that they have accomplished their assigned tasks, that they are all tired after doing extra task such as cleaning the entire Library, and that they are leaving the Library 10 minutes early to be able to rest!

Elsa saw Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks entered Minerva Jalova's office and she also overheard the 3 telling the Lenient Librarian that they have accomplished their task and that they are very tired and that they need to go home early to be able to rest. Elsa could have entered the office of Minerva Jalova to tell the Lenient Librarian that Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita are not telling the truth, but the Simple Schoolgirl decided not to do that because she wanted to be friends with Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks! Elsa also thought that the reason why Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita claimed to have done what they did not do is because they are challenging her to work harder next time!

On Elsa's 3rd day in the School Library as a Student Assistant Majoring in Cleaning, things went on as usual! And when I say "as usual" what I actually meant is that: Minerva Jalova still came in early and was very encouraging to Elsa, Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks still arrived late, Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks still ignored Minerva Jalova, Josefina still went to sleep, Klarizza still kept herself busy reading her pornographic magazine, and Emerlita still talked with someone over the phone and discussed how envious she is of her other friends who bought a new shoes!

Elsa, seeing that Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks wont do their job as usual, went on to do what she did the day before! Elsa did the clippings, Elsa arranged the books on the shelves, Elsa wrapped old books with transparent plastic cover, and Elsa cleaned the entire Library! Elsa continued working without rest from 7:30 in the morning until around 2:58 in the afternoon! By 3:00 in the afternoon, Elsa was already very tired and very hungry but she did not complain! Elsa also did not go to Minerva Jalova's office to ask for anything! Elsa did not want to bother the Lenient Librarian. Elsa also did not bother Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks because she is wishing that Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks would become her friends!

Elsa thought that her wish got granted when by 3:02 in the afternoon, Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks all approached her and in unison said: "Hello"! Elsa immediately replied: "Hi!" Josefina, in a sleepy voice, then said: "You are very industrious. You have been working since this morning. " Klarizza the said: " You seem hungry already. Do you want to eat anything?" Elsa, thinking that saying "No" may turn Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks away, immediately said: "Yes!" Upon hearing Elsa say: "Yes", Emerlita then said: "Okay! Give us money and we will buy food for you!" Elsa searched her pocket and saw a 50 peso bill. Emerlita upon seeing Elsa's money quickly said: "Wow! you have enough money to buy Hamburger with coleslaw, Manggo Juice, and Siomai! Do you want those?" Elsa quickly said: "Yes please." Emerlita then said: "Okay, just wait for us. We will just buy foods for you!" After Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks left, Elsa felt very happy because Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks already spoke with her, seemed very much concerned, and even offered to buy her food.

After Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks left, Elsa continued doing stuffs in the Library. Elsa also waited for Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks to come back from buying her food. Elsa waited and waited but Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks did not come back quickly!

Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks has been gone for more that an hour already when they finally came back to the Library! As Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks entered the door, Elsa approached them with the original intention of helping carry the food that they bought! But Elsa noticed that Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks did not seem to be carrying anything. Josefina and Klarizza then walked passed her without telling her anything. Emerlita then held out a flattened hamburger from her pocket and gave this to Elsa saying: "Elsa! Here is your hamburger! Eat!" Elsa said: "Thank You." Emerlita then said: "Oh! By the way, I forgot to bring you Manggo Shake and Siomai! I also forgot to bring your change!" Elsa just smiled and said: "It's okay." Elsa did not complain, Elsa just thought the reason why Emerlita forgot to buy her Manggo Shake and Siomai is because she is very busy."

On Elsa's 4th day in the School Library as a Student Assistant Majoring in Cleaning, things again went on as usual! Situation inside the School Library of St. John's academy was basically the same except that before lunch time at around 11:38 in the morning, Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks approached Elsa again and with a smile and in unison said: "Hello!" Josefina in a sleepy voice then said: "You are a very diligent girl." Klarizza said: "Because you are a very diligent girl, we will reward you!" Emerlita the said: "The reward is that we will treat you for lunch!" Upon hearing what Emerlita just said, Elsa's face brightened up! Elsa became very excited! Emerlita continued to say: "We have ordered for lunch in Shakey's! We ordered for Mojos, Garlic Bread, Spaghetti with meatballs, Chicken, Hawaiian Delight Thick Crust Pizza, Soft drinks and Dessert!" Elsa got even more excited! Elsa has never tried eating Mojos, Garlic Bread, Spaghetti with meatballs, Chicken, Hawaiian Delight Thick Crust Pizza, Soft drinks and Dessert from Shakey's! Emerlita noticed Elsa's excited face and so she went on saying: "We will treat you because you've been very industrious and we want you to be our friend! But, we want to ask you a favor. Is it okay if we ask for a simple favor?" Elsa immediately said: "Yes!" Emerlita, with a smile, then said: "Since we know that you are working at Mang Joey's gotohan and it is pay day tomorrow, could you treat us for lunch too?" Elsa, making no second thoughts, right away said: "Sure!" Emerlita then said: "That's great! You are not only a very industrious girl! You are also very kind! If you treat us tomorrow, you will be our friend!" Elsa smiled. Emerlita then left. While Emerlita walked away, Elsa was very optimistic! She was also very happy on the thought of having new friends! Elsa decided that she will allot a portion of her salary from Mang Joey to treat Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita for lunch! She also decided to suspend her plans of buying a new slippers first so that she could treat Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita!

When the foods from Shakey's arrived, Elsa got really excited! The smell of the food made her even more excited. But as the delivery boy hands over the foods to Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks, Elsa noticed that there were only 3 sets of packed foods. Elsa did not ask Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks why this is so. Elsa thought that it is very rude to do so! Anyway, immediately after the delivery boy left, Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks quickly ran to the stockroom of the library. There Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks quickly ate the food! Elsa waited for Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita to approach and offer her food but none of the the Contriving Clerks bothered to call her. After 1 hour and 12 minutes, Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita came out of the stock room! Josefina quickly sat down and took a nap, Klarizza quickly grabbed her pornographic magazine and started browsing, Emerlita went straight to where the phone was and dialed a number. As Emerlita was waiting for someone to pick the phone, she saw Elsa and with a surprised expression said: "Oh! I'm so sorry! I forgot to call you! There are no more foods! It's such a pity that you missed lunch! You should have tasted how delicious the Mojos, Garlic Bread, Spaghetti with meatballs, Chicken, Hawaiian Delight Thick Crust Pizza, Soft drinks and Dessert are! Anyway, don't forget! You made a promise! You will treat us tomorrow, right?!" Elsa just smiled and said: "Yes." Elsa did not feel bad that Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks did not call her for lunch! Elsa just believed what Emerlita told her. Elsa just thought that Emerlita really forgot to call her.

On Elsa's 5th day in the School Library as a Student Assistant Majoring in Cleaning, things did not go on as usual! Minerva Jalova was not in her office while Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks were already in when Elsa arrived at exactly 7:30 in the morning! Elsa also noticed that Josefina was wide awake and that she was already working her clippings! Elsa also noticed that Klarizza was not holding her pornographic magazine instead she is very busy arranging the books on the shelves! Elsa also noticed that Emerlita was not talking with someone over the phone, instead she was very busy wrapping old books with plastic cover. As Elsa approached the table where Emerlita was working, the Contriving Clerks paused from what they were doing, smiled, and in unison said: "Hello!". Elsa smiled back and said: "Hi." Josefina then said, in a lively voice: "Elsa! You are a very kind girl! I want to be your friend!" Klarizza then said: "I also want to be your friend!" Emerita then in a very quick succession said: "We all want to be your friend! By the way, you might be wondering where Minerva Jalova is. Well, she can't come to work today. She called in sick. She is down with fever. It's so sad that she is not around for your treat! Oh! By the way, today is your payday right? You promised to treat us for lunch, right? You are a very kind girl, right? You want us to be your friend, right?" Elsa tried to understand what Emerlita was saying! Elsa tried to absorb all that was suddenly happening around her. Elsa was overwhelmed with what was transpiring, but she still managed to say: "Yes."

After hearing Elsa said "Yes", Josefina immediately offered Elsa a seat. Klarizza approached Elsa and said: "You don't have to work today. You have done so much in this library. You are very industrious." Emerlita then said: "I was not wrong when I told Josefina and Klarizza that you can be a very good friend! Just sit down okay? We will do all the job today! Besides you shouldn't be doing our job because you are only a Student Assistant Majoring in Cleaning! Oh! By the way, I already ordered for food! It will be delivered before lunch!" Elsa was still very much overwhelmed at what was suddenly happening but she still managed to nod and say: "Yes."

The whole morning Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks kept themselves very busy! Elsa tried helping but Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks refused being helped. At around 11:46 in the morning, Josefina approached Elsa and then she said in a lively voice: "You are a very generous girl!" Klarizza then said: "I hope that we will be friends forever!" Emerlita then said: "It will be lunch anytime soon! The foods that I ordered will arrive within 14 minutes! You promised that this will be your treat, right? You promised to treat us because you want us to be your friend, right? You will treat us today because it's your payday, right? Oh! by the way, do you have your money with you? The delivery boy will arrive at anytime!" Elsa once again tried to catch up with what Emerlita was saying, but even if she was confused, Elsa still managed to say: "Yes."

After 14 minutes, at exactly 12:00 noon, a delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza arrived! Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks quickly approached the delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza. Elsa heard the delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza saying: "Good afternoon Ma'am! Delivery for Miss Elsa. This is an order for: 2 Boxes of Huge sized Anchovy Lovers Pizza; 2 Boxes of Huge sized New York's Finest; 2 Boxes of Huge sized Manhattan Meatlovers; Hot wings; Ham and Cheese Calzone; Spaghetti and Meatballs; Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta; Twice-baked potato halves; 1 Pint Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Pistachio Ice Cream; and 6 bottles of Huge Drinks!" Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks quickly grabbed all the foods and hurriedly ran to the stockroom leaving the Delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza and Elsa behind.

The Delivery Boy from Yellow Cab Pizza was surprised at how Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks behaved. The Delivery Boy from Yellow Cab Pizza was speechless for 2 minutes and 34 seconds. After 2 minutes and 34 seconds, the delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza came back to his senses and when he saw Elsa he said: "Hi! I'm looking for Miss Elsa." Elsa replied by saying: "Hello, I am Elsa." The delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza then said: "Oh! So you are Miss Elsa! Here, this is the bill for the foods that you just ordered." Elsa took the bill. Elsa got shocked upon seeing the total amount that she has to pay! the total amount of the foods that Emerlita ordered was 8,765 php! Elsa was speechless and motionless for a while! Elsa just stared at the bill. Elsa was very worried! Elsa only earned 8,800 from Mang Joey! Elsa needs to give her parents money! Suddenly the delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza said: "Miss Elsa, I really need to go. I still have many other deliveries! Can I have the payment now?" Upon hearing the delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza, Elsa suddenly came back to her senses and with a trembling hand took her wallet and handed the delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza the amount of 8,800. The delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza smiled and said: "Thank You Miss Elsa." Elsa waited for her change when suddenly Emerlita, who was still in the stock room, yelled: "Keep the change!" The delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza then said: "Thank you very much!" Elsa was once again speechless and motionless as the delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza turned to leave.

Elsa stared at the delivery boy from Yellow Cab Pizza as he walked away with her hard earned money! As she watched the delivery boy from Yellow cab Pizza leave, Elsa was also thinking of how to explain to Fanchita Isidra and Rodelio Jay that she does not have any more money! Elsa was also thinking of how her parents would react upon finding out that she has already spent her money for a blow out to her friends! Elsa was still imagining how her parents would react when suddenly Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks walked passed her. Josefina in a sleepy voice said: "Move aside." Klarizza said: "I am very full! The food is very delicious!" Emerlita said: "Oh! I'm so sorry! I forgot to call you! We already ate! the food was very delicious. Move aside! And by the way, just stay here and we will just brush our teeth!" Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks then left Elsa alone in the Library!

As Elsa watched Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks walk away, Elsa tried to think of how to tell her parents that she has no more money. Elsa then walked back inside the Library. As she walked by the stockroom, Elsa saw that there were still untouched boxes of pizza and still unwrapped foods. Elsa thought of getting herself some food. Elsa entered the stockroom and took a spoon, fork, and a paper plate. Elsa looked at the foods that was delivered. Elsa could not recognize what most of the foods were. Elsa is not used to eating expensive foods! Elsa only recognized the Pizza. Elsa decided that she will eat Pizza. Elsa opened a box of Pizza. Elsa noticed that the Pizza was still untouched and that the slices were still intact. Elsa took a knife. Elsa was about to get her self a piece of pizza when suddenly Josefina, Klarizza, and Emerlita or the Contriving Clerks screamed from behind her! Josefina yelled: "Oh no! Don't steal my foods! I will bring those home!" Klarizza screamed: " Oh no! Don't touch those foods! Those are mine!" and Emerlita hollered: "Guard! Help us!" Suddenly Omario Bulatao, the Groveling Guard appeared, grabbed Elsa's hands and in a very loud voice said: "Violation number 7: Illegal possession of deadly Weapon"!
