Office of the Spatial Quasi Cooker
Well, the Spatial Quasi Cooker’s job, a product of the Elephant’s promise to control chop-chop in the forest is actually not one that required him to cook or chop. The Spatial Quasi Cooker’s job is to catch choppers, or so seemed.
According to Ametsitsie Fukuor, many centuries ago, corruption was born. With its exact date of birth unknown to anybody, the expression “as old as Adam” was coined to describe its assumed age. As time passed, it took on other monikers such as chop-chop, or di-bi-ma-min-di-bi, or ka-bi-ma-min-ka-bi, ablorde-gbadzaa or one-man-no-chop.
Chop-chop advanced in age and its biting effects began to be felt more and more and the animals in the forest started to agitate for its decapitation. One day, when the animals of Ganaman forest decided to cast the lot to select who to rule them, the issues in contention became so similar that it was decided to narrow them down to contestants’ commitment to silencing chop-chop.
At the end of a gruelling battle, Naabudani, the Elephant was selected to lead. It immediately brought elephants of different kind, baby and adult elephants, handsome and ugly ones, male and females alike to serve in various capacities… Chop-chop never stopped.
To prove to the animals of the forest that it meant every promise it made to get elected, Naabudani created a portfolio for a special cook, to be located within the courtyard, yet distant. The office to be known as Spatial Quasi Cooker was thus created. The occupant’s job was not to cook but to measure the quantities of food stuffs and the degree of energy used in cooking the meals and to determine if chop-chop had happened. Vamidu-the-Vigilante was chosen.
