National Health Service for Animals - Lesson #1 - The Cockroach

Due to recent developments in the communication transducers it is now possible to translate insect feeler touches into human conversation. We’re very sorry for that.

LESSON NR. 1 – The Cockroach.

- Calling Mrs. Cockroach # 373.865⁹!!!!, consulting room 7, Mrs. Cockroach # 373.865⁹!!!!, consulting room 7!!!

- Good morning.

- Good morning Mrs. Cockroach, what seems to be the problem?

- You!!!!

- ????How come?

- We are being slaughtered by the millions, namely our sisters from the sewers. They are subject to mass murder by you, humans! What can you do about this Doctor #74596874?

- I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do about it. As a matter of fact the Human Kingdom has been fighting against insects since the beginning of mankind...it’s a matter of survival you see…

- But nowadays you created this NHSA and we are animals! How can you say that?

- Mrs. Cockroach, you must try to understand our point...you’ve been evoluting for hundreds of million years, while we humans are new to this planet...we must struggle to survive, no matter what…

- ...That is, your “no matter what” means that you’re trying to exterminate us so you can finally conquer the world!

- Precisely. It is undeniable...it’s a part of our common human heritage to survive among other species...I’m sure you understand this…

- In fact, I do, but since you created the NHSA things have changed, drastically. Both our Kingdoms are before a brand new approach to this issue...don’t you think?

- That, Mrs. Cockroach, is not that simple...if you suffered from some kind of disease our entomotherapists could in fact help you with that, but at a planetary level such as you have proposed, the matter is out of our hands…

- So, you’re telling me you’re not going to do anything about it?

- Affirmative. You’ve made your point and I have explained ours…

- Thanks, for nothing!

- Good morning. See you in any garbage bin of your choice. Have a nice day.

- Calling Mr. Praying Mantis #876857647² consulting room 5, Mr. Praying Mantis consulting room 5!!!
