Colors speak -- This or that? - 2

Colors attract. Colors speak. No, it is not figurative. This-or-that can hear the language of colors too.
Once he was sitting alone in a park bench. He saw two colors speaking to each other. Speaking is a mild word. They are shouting at each other. One color was White - khadi white, and the other was Red. White was accompanied by a person named Economist. Excerpts:
White: "Ha..Ha..I am the ruler."
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."
Red: "You think like that? I will pull you down."
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."
Red jumped ferociously after this. This-or-that heard someone crying with pain. But it was not White's cry. This-or-that was puzzled.
White (meekly): "I am not the ruler."
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."
Red: "We will decide the fate."
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."
White: "No. I am not the ruler. We are the rulers."
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."

Red: "That's better."
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."
White: " Ha..Ha.. We are the winners. Winners take them all. Ha..Ha..Winners take them all from the London banks."
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."
They jumped with joy. This-or-that still heard the cry - the cry from the heart but he was puzzled as he could not see the source of that wail.
Red: "What is two plus two?"
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."
White immediately warned Economist that he was not supposed to tell "Yes" when a question was asked. Economist nodded his head at 50 cycles per second.
White: "Four according to Russian and Chinese mathematics books."
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."
Red: "Well done. Well done."
Economist: "Yes..Yes.."
They danced together. This-or-that still heard that cry. He decided to go a bit forward to see what was happening. He was shocked. White and Red were jumping on a poor old man - 59 years old man. The cry was from that man. This-or-that now knew the source of those cries. This-or-that had a hearty laugh when he came to know that White had told an American TV that two plus two was four according to American books. Economist, as usual, nodded when he was asked if it was right.

Hi Inquisitive Akka,

Thanks. I will check out ddspace soon. You are not just a loving sister. You are a loving and inquisitive அக்கா.

How do closed eyes go with the inquisitiveness? But I am sure you are watching through the gap between the index and middle fingers!!! :-)
