A TUPPER that once lived in a household got tired of keeping the food fresh all the time. “It’s unfair that I get to freeze in the refrigerator only to see the housewife throw the food away in the trash in the end”, he complained, as every time the housewife cooked something, she only ate half of what she had cooked and preserved the rest in the tupper, often forgetting it for weeks.
One day the tupper woke up and thought he had enough. So he formulated a simple plan to get away with all this: the next time the housewife gave him food to preserve, he would let it go stale. She would then get disappointed and stop putting him to work. “That’s a very bad idea!”, the silverware warned him as soon as he announced his decision. “A little mold is exactly what she needs to get her lesson!”, the tupper angrily replied. The very same day, the housewife entrusted him a delicious piece of cherry pie. The tupper then opened his lid half so that the cold air from the fridge would leak and destroy it. When after a few days the housewife returned to take it, the piece was filled with tiny specks of blue mold. She quickly emptied the tupper, then washed the mold away with hot water and soap. The second time, the housewife entrusted him with two big pieces of cheesecake. At first, the tupper found them enticing. Yet, he decided not to spare them, opening his lid again so that the air of the refrigerator would flow in. As soon as the first specks of mold appeared, the housewife angrily threw the cheesecake to the trash bin and cleaned the tupper with boiling water. The third time, she entrusted him with a piece of Roquefort cheese. This time, however, and as blue mold was already covering the cheese, the tupper thought it was already rotten. “Is she doing this to punish me, perhaps?”, he wondered as he housewife had never given him anything with mold to preserve before. As soon as he tasted it, however, he changed his mind. “It might be full of mold, but it is delicious!”, the tupper exclaimed after giving it a bite. After a while, however, the thought that the strange cheese might have poisoned him got him very anxious. “We’d best call an ambulance to be on the safe side!”, he then told the silverware of the kitchen, who found his demand rather strange as it was normal for a Roquefort cheese to have blue specks all over. “Somebody let him know more about cheese!”, they gossiped and laughed with each other. The tupper got so anxious, however, that went over to the telephone to call a doctor. “Thank you, I didn’t know that about Roquefort cheese”, he said as he put the phone down, letting out a big sigh of relief, and the other silverware burst into laughter. “This is what happens when you play with mold!”, they in turn mocked him. He became red with shame. So he took he lesson, and from that day on, never thought again about playing jokes with mold....
