2 was happy.No Happy was not
the word. 2 was feeling light. Not because it had achieved it's
purpose in life but because it had achieved the finality to it.
The total summation of all it's life to yeild the ultimate digit.. 4. And the ultimate realization of the fact that it needed no other digit to make that happen only made it sweeter {Please note that you cannot add two equal digits to 4 except 2 }
Businessmen 1 and 3 were jealous. Because this discovery had just shot the hole in their pie. The pie built from the money earned by the decent digits of digitville.
Digitville was built by Aryabhatta when he brought with him his son '0' to live here. And from then on more and more digits kept piling up. This town was like no other town. It did not boast of tall buildings and beautiful malls but being whole this city lacked all the negativity and complexity. A simple and positive town where all the beautiful digits lived happily .. until the day 1 and 3 found that they can together create 4. This realization brought a revolution to digitville but at the expense of other digits who were overcharged and overtaxed for this very necessary digit.
But all this was past now. The discovery of 2 will make this digit cheaper and abundant. More over the competition could bring the rates of 4 doen. They wanted to do somthing but the buck was now out of there hands. The whole town would be juvenile and they would be forgotten.
1 and 3 were calling 2 names like greedy , selfish , profit sucking and a blood thirsty coward .. everything that 2 was not and in fact just the opposite. They even bribed the "+ inc" the manufacturer of the tool{addition} to produce 4 to third this. "2 had monopolized the creation of 4" They screamed. They were using 2's virtue of calmness against it. 1 and 3 gave several media interviews which were titled "2 kaudi ki digit" {A vulgarity still famous and thrown off to good people }. They had friendship with the Washington people and passed a "Equalization Of opportunity" bill restricting 2 to the amount of 4 he could produce.
2 was diappointed. With the right tool he could have reduced the evil spread by the looters and second handers 1 and 3.But what for ? These kind of digits have killed the innovation in society and called rationality impossible.And the simple digits of this town do not understand this.
1 year later:
------------------
1,3 and + asked 2 - "What do you think of us now that we have destroyed your factory, your reputaion and everythign you worked for?"
To which 2 replied - "But I don't think of you"
2 was not amused. No This was not the world he would live for. He could leave it or he could fight it. Leaving it would be a end to his life so he thought of ending his life while fighting this evil spread in the society like a poisonous root to the ground - unseen by the social tree which believed that the root will grip the earth firm and help in it's existence while failing to realize that the root will destroy the very support tree wanted to use and there will be no more existence , of him of anyone , ever again.
2 could not let the world being brought to that point. After all whatever it was this town was the only tribute to his great great grandfather 'Aryabhatta'.
Ok he does not need 1 and 3. But He needs '+ inc' to support the construction. Why does it need it ?
Is there another tool which 2 could use to make 4 ? This could further reduce the production cost. This thought made 2 jump in excitement and he realized that he would no longer need a summation to his life .. he would name it ..''

2 years later: { No. of years Chosen for a special purpose :) }
People were chearing. They were happy. Finally 4 was all abundant. 1 and 3 had quit.
2 was not only the productor of 4 now. It had discoved something much much more important , a discovery that changed how digitville looked today with it's population increasing fast.
Yes he would not call his life work a summation .. it would be known as "Multiplication" {Please note that to produce 4 only 2 can use this tool :) }
