Curious Genma, the curious martial artist.
Curious Genma sat under a tree and read his book. He turned the page and
smiled. "Reading is fun." He said.
Nearby the boy in the red shirt punched at a piece of wood with a smile
on his face.
Genma turned the page again and read out loud for a moment. "Only an
idiot would attempt to teach this technique."
"I wonder why it says that?" said Genma. Genma was curious.
A short time later Genma sat above a hole he had dug into the ground and
frowned.
Inside, the boy in the red shirt was screaming many naughty words.
Genma looked thoughtful. "I wonder where he learned all those words
from?"
Four years later...
Genma sat across from his friend. Mr. Kuonji.
"I think we should engage our two children." Said Mr. Kuonji.
Genma shook his head. "No, Ranma is engaged already." He said.
Mr. Kuonji frowned and thought for a moment. "I'll throw in my yattai as
a dowry."
This caused Genma to have a dilemma. He frowned as he thought. "I wonder
if I can make Okonomiyaki?" Genma was curious.
A short time later, after Genma and the boy in the red shirt had run
away from the angry little girl. They sat together and stood around the
slowly burning embers of the cart.
"Pop, look what you did!" cried the boy in the red shirt.
Genma frowned and felt terrible for what he did.
"I could have sold that cart for money!" said Genma.
Five years pass...
Genma looked at the brochure in his hands and turned it over to see a
small Japanese translation. Genma read the words out loud.
"Jusenkyo. A very dangerous training ground of cursed springs. Avoid at
all costs."
Genma looked at the pretty picture on the front of the brochure. "I
wonder why it's dangerous?" Genma was curious.
Six months pass...
Genma stared at Mr. Guide as they exited the springs. The girl in the
red shirt glared at him angrily and he knew that he had been a very bad
martial artist.
Genma turned with a stern look on his face and apologized to the girl in
the red shirt with a hand written sign. "Take it like a man son!"
The girl in the red shirt accepted his apology and punched him in the
face before storming off in anger.
"No! Sirs, going that way very bad!" cried Mr. Guide.
Genma blinked and stared at him as he held up another sign. "Huh? Why?"
The guide looked at him. "That way is village of Amazons! Very
dangerous."
"Amazons?" thought Genma. Genma was curious.
The end.
Before you start. Yes I know Ranma didn't actually wear his Chinese
clothes until after Jusenkyo, but it fit the story. [For those of you who
didn't know that: go back and read Ranma 1/2 again. He's always wearing a
dogi in his training trip days. In fact, he doesn't start wearing the
Chinese clothes until after the dragon's whisker incident.]
Personally I think this would go a long way towards explaining Genma's
behavior.
I know the story reads strange, but this is a 'Curious George' parody. I
intentionally wrote the story the way it is, bad punctuation and grammar
included.
