The Virgin Boy Who Never Knows A Girl

Misconstrued words

Abroad,
A group of five boys were on their way to the club,
One of them who just left his village to school abroad
after benefitting from an international scholarship, was naive
and was not that socially active.

On their way, the other four discussed on catching a big fish.
He was curious and asked: "Aren't we going to the club to eat
and dance? In my village, we only catch fish from the river.
Why is it different here in America?

"Why catch fish in the club
when rivers are ever running abroad?
The other boys laughed and made mockery of him.
"Hey! You boy from the village, listen,
We meant getting a beautiful and endowed girl
to ourselves tonight, to flex"

"Ah! He exclaimed as he understood their point
"You know, I've never known any girl since I was born"
He said as if to boast off.
"Guy! What do you mean by you've never known any girl?
What of your sisters and your female parent?

"Abomination! God forbid that I'll know my mother and sisters
That's called incest you ignorant brothers!"
He got pissed by what they insinuated
and turned to return to his hostel.

"Guy, calm down. We do not mean to get you upset.
But we can't wrap our head around what you meant"
One of the other four boys said.

"My bad! I forgot you're butty students
It means that I've never touched a girl
the way you guys do, before.
It's kinda an adage in my village"

You mean you are a virgin?
The others laughed and make jest of him
As if it's a taboo for a guy to be a virgin...
