Celebration Day for Tama

2. Juggle

Every celebration is an expression of gratefulness to somebody or a circumstance and repeat it for always at a certain day, a celebrated day. Usually people will gather with their kinds, do some rituals together, eat together and have fun together.

Tama is a person, neither a man nor a woman. Hir physiology explains that hes has both functions. None of both tend to one gender, so hes cant choose and none can give hir choice. Hes doesnt celebrate something with people, because Tama is different. Tama even can't celebrate hir birthday, hes doesn't know it. Hes doesn't know hir parents either. But Tama knows the reason of hir name. Just because before hir grandmother had a cat named Tama, then the grandmother named after hem Tama. But now the grandmother has died. Tama has been chased away from grandmother's house by somebody. People said that hes wasnt her grandchild. Tama is now homeless and asks food from people in the market.

Hes doesn't go to school, hes doesn't have family, hes doesn't have friends, hes doesn't belong to any religion. Hes seldom speaks. Hes is considered insane.

One early morning, the man who usually unloaded the goods from truck got an accident. Nobody replaced him directly, People in the market, the fruit and vegetables vendors, were still discussing the person who was available to unload the stuffs. Tama was watching and had known what to do. Hes then jumped up to the truck and unloaded everything quick and neatly, exactly like the previous man.

Since the moment, Tama has come every morning to the market for unloading stuffs. Tama is given money. Before hes asked food from people, now hes buys meals for hemself.

One night, there was a night market at the field near the usual market. There was a show. A clown made some magics and collected money from the people that surrounded him for seeing. The clown melodically said something strange then some ribbons became flowers, an empty pail with a cloth on it created three rabbits, etc. Tama liked very much his magics and put money in the clown's box. In the end of the show, tama got closer to the clown. He was really interested to know the chant that the clown said.

Tama asked, "How?" then Tama showed some gestures imitating from the clown before. Then said something strange in order to imitate the clown.

The clown understood what Tama meant. Tama wanted to know how to conjure something. The clown prepared his equiptment and said something strange but melodic, "bububabah beuh beuh koak koak" repeteadly and asked Tama to imitate him.

Tama followed the instruction. There was an empty pail with a white cloth covering it, when opened there were three rabbits inside. Tama was tremendously happy and the clown laughed hard.

After the show, Tama has bought an empty pail with white cloth, has chanted multiple times in front of it, but nothing happens. Tama wants to ask again the clown, but the clown has left the market. Still Tama chants and also in hir sleeping around the market.

There are also cats in the market. Four cats are around Tama and seeing him sleeping. They are crying. They feels sorry for Tama. Tama is the poorest one, still someone with ignorance has befooled hem.
