The tale of a cockroach

It rained heavily today. At vjc canteen, a bunch of hungry students were having their breaks and indulging themselves in their food. Just outside the canteen, a cockroach was strolling happily in the rain.

"Raindrops keep falling on my head....."

After a while, it decided that it had enough, so it walked into the canteen. By then, some of the students had noticed its presence. Everyone gave it way to it, some pple screaming at the same time. Perhaps the cockroach thought that it should not frighten them, thus changed direction and walked out of the canteen again.
Just then it met a student. This student enjoyed abusing the cockroach. He drew some water from the drink he was drinking, with a straw, and blew it at the cockroach. The cockroach seemed frightened, but was still rather calm. In a bid not to frighten the other students who were staring at its every movement, it did not run, just walked slightly faster.
The student was not satisfied. He poured ice onto the cockroach.
THis time, the cockroach had enough. It got to its feet and ran into the drain, disappearing in a flash.
After the incident, tHe author of this short story stared at him for a moment. He stared back, and seemed proud of himself.
