Daffodil the Priestess of Malaysia

There once existed a young girl and her name was Daffodil.  She was the high priestess of Malaysia proper. Daffodil was always a smart girl and she always listened to Mozart and Beethoven in her spare time.  But that was not her favorite way of enjoying her free moments.  Daffodil had a craze for strawberry and green apple bubblegum.  She would chew this gum every moment she was awake until the sun went down in the sky.  Each day was a new day for Daffodil to chew her gum. 
It was a good day always and each day Daffodil grew more sunny and cheery. 
I never saw Daffodil again after I left my home in Malaysia.  I hear she has left the nation for a new place to live today.  But that said, if you ever meet this young woman today, please offer her a deck of cards and tell her that she might be able to chew gum and play cards at the same time.  That would make Daffodil a really nice and truly friendly person.  I just suspect that if she does not play cards, she is just not that happy sitting around all day long chewing her bubble gum.   If she wants to listen to some music while she plays the cards, that would be ok, but if she stops listening to Mozart, I will be saddened a little bit.  If she gives up the Beethoven, I don't think I'd want to visit her ever again.  Best wishes in your visit with our dear Priestess and be careful if she asks you to smell her daisy collection.  Thanks.
