The Rocking Wooden Horse

In an amusement park, there exists a wooden horse in the middle with a box attached to its side of body. The wooden horse is made up of a better quality kind of wood and most importantly it's free! Any rewards can just be put into the box. However according to general behaviour, frequency of rewards seemed like the occurrence of an eclipse of the sun.

Only girls like riding on this special wooden horse in the park. Previously, a girl had actually rode on it, was pleased and dropped a dime or two in the box, then she went off. After feeling bored with other stuffs in the amusement park, she came back to it again, rode on it quite vigorously and left it alone again. Therefore from past experiences of riding on that particular horse, it's alittle chipped here and there, but it's still open for rides.

Now, another girl came along and rode on it, and from the expression on her face, she obviously likes riding on it. The flip side is that she rides on it quite violently, but she kept on hugging it, calling it one of the best rides she ever had, really thankful that such a wonderful rocking wooden horse was built in place. However, for this particular girl, she likes all the other horses she rode before too, praising and complimenting it the same as the other horses.

Supernaturally, this horse has a soul trapped in it, and after quite a few girls had taken it for a ride, understandably but strange things happened. Tears started flowing down the face of the horse, blood was dripping through a crack on the horse which was between the head and underside. Sometimes the blood would dry up but whenever girls rode on it and then left it by itself, tears and blood will flow again. All this while, the horse had always been in a usable condition.

A funny oxymoron that till now, there has not been any girl who would just ride on it, not letting go hugs of the wooden horse. It was believed that 1 or 2 more girls who will ride the horse like the previous cases, will inevitably cause the collapse of the wooden horse. Amidst all, one thing's for sure, that girls who started to ride on this special rocking wooden horse would find it interesting and then the enthusiasm will die down. It seems that the built quality of the wooden horse does not attract a girl who will ride on it for as long as possible, defeating the purpose of utilising such material to build this wooden horse. The durability of the rocking wooden horse seems negligible since there's an absence of appreciation and love for this special horse.

It remains to be seen when will the horse finally collapse to a heap of wooden planks or gets more durable through the maintenance done by the girl who will ride on this special rocking wooden horse for good...
