The Rat and the Rock

I'm here to tell you a story of The Rat and The Rock

Once upon a time in a land of lions there was a rat.  This rat wanted to do something quite extraordinary.  He wanted to impress upon a girl.  He decided to search for the most beautiful rock that he could find.  High and low, he searched for this rock, asking around which rock would suit the best.  It had to be the best since this rock would represent his love for this girl.  He finally found the rock he was looking for.  However, his next dilemma is how to give this rock to the girl.  It was a scary task as the girl might look down upon the rat and his rock.  He was once again burdened by worries of how to approach the girl with the rock.  He even intruded upon the girl's fellow friends and finally decided to just swing it on his own. Taking with him the confidence of ten thousand lions, he urged on.  He journeyed far and wide (not really, he took the train :P) and finally reached the girl's dwelling.  Assailed by the girl's beauty, his confidence started to falter.  He did not know what to do next until he scowered under a table and waited.  The girl was quite busy and distracted by her tasks that she didn't noticed the rat hiding.  She finally approached the table and was startled by the humongous rrrr....rock on the rat's hand.  She was blinded by the light the rock emitted to even realize there was an actual rat hiding under her table.  The rat confessed and sang his love towards the girl. Confused and shocked, the girl kept on saying 'No' despite the fact that her heart was singing 'Yes'. Finally, the rat decided upon himself to put the rock on the girl's hand as his final act.  Impressed by the rat's courage and gallantry, she accepted. The girl knew then and there that her heart will now and forever belong to the rat. 

The End. 

P.S. Here's the rock. :P
