The Morpio
Jaina was a gifted J person.
He could read any book from any world of the alphabets.
Unlike our world, languages in alphabet worlds differed not in letters but in radiation. Each world's language, when written, radiates certain waves that indicate which world the writting was from. Those waves are then translated into feelings that a reader gets. You do not learn the different languages, you either know it or you just don't.
Jaina, however, was one of the rare people who could understand all different languages from all worlds; or so he claims.
Mahi from M World heard about Jaina's gift and decided to prove he was wrong. So he went to the M library and got the toughest book there is; and he was certain that no matter how gifted Jaina was, he will not be able to read this book. It was called the 'Morpio'.
It was few days later, when Mahi visited J World with the book 'Morpio' in his hands. All J people gathered in the central park of J World, to see if Jania could read Morpio.
Mahi shouted 'Who is Jaina?'
Jaina stood out in the crowd and said 'I am Jaina. I do not want to sound arrogant but I have, so far, read all books presented infront to me. I do not know if I can or can not read the Morpio, but I doubt that I can't'
After a sarcastic giggle Mahi handed the Morpio to Jaina and said 'Well, here you go!'
Jaina sat down on the ground and opened the Morpio.
He could not feel anything.
He sat there with the Morpio in his lap, all people staring, waiting. But he could not read the book.
After a long silence and a lot of staring, people started whispering.
'So..?' Mahi said in a challenging tone.
Jaina looked tired. He tried but he could not read the Morpio. It was not like any other book he ever saw. It was so.. closed!
Even after the long laughs that Mahi had infront of the whole crowd, Jaina had nothing to say until Mahi asked 'Do you feel hurt because you could NOT read the Morpio?'
'No.' Jaina replied with a very calm tone, 'I can not read the Morpio, but that is not why I am hurt. What hurts me is that I think the Morpio can read me.'

I think that Jaina could actually be afraid of understanding the morpio
Maybe the book encloses not very pleasant stories in it
and, why is Jaina sad that the morpio can read him, maybe he has something to hide.
Only when Jaina will be ready to face everything in the book, the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, he will read it without a sweat and then he will have the luxury to decide whether he wants to keep the book, or look for another.

To be Special, you make the one you trust understanding you. But you'll not allow any body to read you, that's how you keep the control...
And that makes Morpio to be Special....
