Title: How did God create a Woman

Note1: This text was sent from one person to another around 9 years ago. It was a series of 'a MOB Messages' with beautiful short stories. This is the second story I decided to post. Although previous story doesn't generate interest, I still want to post another one. Would be a shame if these little positive moments will be forgotten.

Note2: Please note that the designation of certain words should not be taken literally, sometimes followed by a deeper meaning. (more notes after the text)

I would like to devote this story to our mothers, women who gave birth and women who don't have children, because this doesn't make them less important persons.

My thanks to ladyfeather for checking this story for me. Sorry, I decided to stop on original words in a sentence we discussed. This will give people who'll read this a chance to think about their own version of meaning.

God was in the process of creating a woman on the sixth day, working overtime at the moment.

An angel appeared and asked. "Why do you spend so much time working on her?"

"Did you not see the instructions? She shouldn't fear moisture, but neither should she be plastic; she should consist around 200 moving parts, all of which should be replaceable; she should be able to continue working even if she had only coffee and leftovers for a meal; her knees should be fashioned that two children could sit on them, but when she gets up she should look graceful. Her kiss must have the ability to cure everything from scratches and to a broken heart, and she must have six pairs of hands." God answered.

The angel was very surprised that there were so many requirements for this creature.

"Six hands! Oh, no!" Angel cried.

"Oh, it's not the hands that complicate the matter. The problem is in the three pairs of eyes which every mother must have!" God complained.

"Is it necessary that the typical model must have these?" An angel asked referring to the three pairs of eyes.

"Oh, yes! One pair of eyes is for the mother to see through the closed door, when she will ask her children what they are doing even though she already knows. The second pair of eyes has the ability to see what she needs to know about things while others haven't even found out yet. A third pair is for a glance directed at the reprimanded child which conveys without a word that she loves and understands him." God nodded.

"But it's still so much work. It is enough for today. You will finish tomorrow." Angel even so tried to stop God.

"But I can't," God said. "I almost finished his masterpiece, which is so close to my heart."

"God, but isn't she too soft and gentle?" The angel came and touched the woman.

"Yes, she is a gentle one," The Creator agreed. "But I did her strong. You can't even imagine what she can endure and how much to do!"

"Does she know how to think?" The Angel asked.

"She not only knows how to think, but she can argue and prove it." God assured.

Then the angel noticed something, reached out and touched the woman's cheek.

"Oh, I think this model is leaking." Angel pointed out. "I'm telling you that you are trying to put too many things in her."

"No, it isn't a leak," God refuted, "it's a tear!"

"But why does she have a tear?" the Angel asked in surprise.

"She can show her joy through tears; also other emotions like pain, disappointment, loneliness, and pride." The creator explained.

"God, you're a genius! You have thought of everything, so the woman will be an extraordinary creature." The angel was very impressed.

Women amaze men with their strength. They raise children, take care all the difficulties, working hard to go through life, but at the same time they shine with happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are very happy and laugh when they are worried. They fight for what they believe in. They boldly oppose injustice. They don't accept the answer 'no' when they believe that there is a better solution. They refuse new shoes for themselves, but buy them for their children. They escort frightened friends to the doctor. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children are lucky and happy when their friends get awards. Their heart breaks when a friend dies. They know that a broken heart can be cured with a touch and a kiss.

Women come in different sizes, colors and shapes. They will fly, run, send an e-mail to show how she likes you.

A woman's heart is that what makes the world spin! Women are not only giving birth. They are bringing a joy and a hope. They will understand and empathize. Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

Translation note:

Since I translated this text from my native language and I'm not even close to a translator, ladyfeather made some valuable suggestions. One sentence provoked an interesting discussion about its meaning: 'She shouldn't fear moisture, but neither should she be plastic.'

ladyfeather's suggestion about meaning is: She shouldn't fear adversity, but neither should she be impenetrable. The idea that she would be able to handle most problems that come her way, not just ignore them and hope they go away.

My description for 'shouldn't fear moisture' is 'she shouldn't be fragile'. And so, 'plastic'. If the woman was plastic what she will become? Or I will ask more accurate question how other way we can call 'plastic human'? It will be a robot, an android, which lack of organic, human feelings and you can continue further. So, this sentense in my interpretation: woman have to have strong body to sustain different situations, but still she have to remain human full of feelings and care.

To tell the truth, both our interpretations is right someway, because interpretation depent on personal point of view and experience. Or maybe we both put too much meaning of interpretation of this sentence. ^_^
