**Mr. G and the Rat šš±**
š *Phone ringing at 2:13 AMā¦*
**Mr. G:** Hello? Who is disturbing my sleep at this ungodly hour?
**Mr. Rat:** Good evening, Mr. G. Hope youāre comfortable?
**Mr. G:** ā¦Who is this?
**Mr. Rat:** Itās me. The rat in your cupboard.
**Mr. G:** *Which* cupboard??
**Mr. Rat:** The important one. The one with your *financial future* inside.
**Mr. G:** š³ WaitāWHAT?!
**Mr. Rat:** Yes. I just called to inform you that Iām currently eating your money.
**Mr. G:** YOU ARE DOING WHAT?!
**Mr. Rat:** Relax now. Donāt shout. Iām chewing responsibly.
**Mr. G:** Leave my money alone! Are you mad?!
**Mr. Rat:** Ah-ah, Mr. G, calm down. First of all⦠this money is very dusty. Secondly⦠it has no flavor. Did you season it at all?
**Mr. G:** Itās MONEY, not jollof rice!!
**Mr. Rat:** Exactly my complaint. Zero spices. Very disappointing experience.
**Mr. G:** Stop eating it immediately!
**Mr. Rat:** I would⦠but Iāve already started. You know how commitment works.
**Mr. G:** š¤ Iām coming there right now!
**Mr. Rat:** Please come fast. This place is very dirty. Your money is just lying here like it has given up on life.
**Mr. G:** That is my SAVINGS!
**Mr. Rat:** Savings? My friend, this is not savingāthis is abandonment.
**Mr. G:** Abandonment ke?! I kept it safe!
**Mr. Rat:** Safe for who? For me? Because I truly appreciate it.
**Mr. G:** š” Donāt touch anything again!
**Mr. Rat:** Too late. I just finished tasting one bundle⦠very chewy. Slightly emotional flavor.
**Mr. G:** Emotional?!
**Mr. Rat:** Yes. It tastes like stress and āI will use it later.ā
**Mr. G:** You are a useless rat!
**Mr. Rat:** And you are a careless banker.
**Mr. G:** Banker??!
**Mr. Rat:** Yes. Bank of Cupboard. No interest. Only insects.
**Mr. G:** I swear if I reach thereā
**Mr. Rat:** āyou will pack the dirty. Exactly. Thatās why I called you.
**Mr. G:** What dirty??
**Mr. Rat:** Your money is now half money, half crumbs. Congratulations.
**Mr. G:** š My hard-earned cash!!
**Mr. Rat:** Donāt cry, Mr. G. Think of it as⦠*investment in wildlife feeding program.*
**Mr. G:** I will invest you inside trap!
**Mr. Rat:** Threats will not restore your funds.
**Mr. G:** Iām opening that cupboard now!
**Mr. Rat:** Please knock first. Iām still dining.
**Mr. G:** *opens cupboard violently*
**Mr. Rat:** Ah! Youāve arrived. Welcome.
**Mr. G:** š± WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
**Mr. Rat:** Presentation is everything. As you can seeāscattered notes, artistic tearing, modern destruction style.
**Mr. G:** My money is in pieces!!
**Mr. Rat:** Yes. Limited edition.
**Mr. G:** Why would you do this?!
**Mr. Rat:** Because, Mr. G⦠money that stays in cupboard too long becomes *rat food.*
**Mr. G:** š¤ I hate this dream!
**Mr. Rat:** Dream? Who said anything about dream?
**Mr. G:** Wait⦠WHAT?
**Mr. Rat:** Anyway, Iām full now. Kindly pack your dirty.
**Mr. G:** You are not going anywhere!!
**Mr. Rat:** Watch me.

**Mr. G:** COME BACK HERE!!

š³ *Mr. G wakes up suddenly⦠sweating.*
He looks at his cupboardā¦
Slowly walks toward itā¦
Opens it gentlyā¦
Everything is normal.
He sighs in relief.
Then from insideā
**Mr. Rat (faint whisper):** Next time⦠use your money before I do.
