The Children's Life of Christ-Jesus Goes to The Temple /While I Go To Brickfields

The next chapter of The Children's Life of Christ book by Enid Blyton got to do with Jesus Goes to the Temple. 

As everyone knows, Temple is a place to pray. Well, a day or two after he enter Jerusalem he went to the Temple to pray. However, he was very angry when he saw what was happening at the outer courts. It was noisy and dirty. 

In fact, people had turned it into a Pasar". They did not take note that the place is part of the Temple. Place of prayer.

No wonder Jesus was fuming. He went and upset the stalls, drove away those hawkers and those who came to buy stuffs there. People came and see what causes the commotions. 

The money changers asked why is Jesus doing that? Then Jesus replied "Do you know what is written in the Bible? The House of God is for Praying. You have turned it into a den of thieves"

Jesus was fearless for he knows his time is short. Even those hawkers and money changers were afraid of him. They complaints to the Chief Priests but they can't do anything. People were attracted by his fearlessness and came to listen to what he had to say.

Yesterday we went to a place which have a lot of Temple. Got Chinese, Indian and Christian prayer places at that area. Yup...it's Brickfields. But we didn't go to the Temples. Instead we went to Restaurant Yit Sieang.

 I know what Papa and Mamarazzi want to eat.

 Hmmm...I wanna order other things pulak. I wanna order Chicken Rice.

 Nice with Kopi .

My plate of Chicken Rice. Quite a lot of meat wor.

Let me taste first. Ngap! Ngap! Ngap!....Mmmmnnnn yum yum...I finished all the rice while Papa helped me to finish the Chicken Meat and Roast Pork.

 MMmmm.....The Char Keoy Teow still smell as good as ever.

It's amazing how the two men handle the stall all by themselves and they can remember every customers' order. They can recognise their regular customers orders and knows who are their loyal customers. Saw they have no maid to help them.

I wonder if they set up a restaurant for their Char Keoy Teow the same good standard of service will still  be available. 

Some establishment when they grow bigger, they will have to hire more staffs. And these staffs are more interested in marketing their product in order to show increase in Sales to their Boss and they tend to neglect the old and loyal customers.  

Sad to say that some of these staffs may even offend the old and loyal customers. Could be due to ignorance or just simple ruthlessness. Maybe the Boss should tell the staffs to take note of their loyal customers .

The staffs are like the hawkers and money changers in the Temple. They tend to forget or purposely close they eyes and heart to the fact that a Temple is a place for praying.
