It gets hammered, straightened, coated, double coated, labelled, inserted in a protective cover, into a carton and several such cartons are put in a big carton, then the product goes to bond house. Similarly the rumour undergoes in quick succession, all these!! That is the reason the story is multiplied with several paragraphs added by the middle people.

It is a very good comparison. You have well stated what rumor is by giving vivid examples.
It would be nice if there were no gossips to make rumors. It would be a nice and peaceful world to live in with only good relationship bewteen people and nations. Thus no war and fight would ever take place.

I went to Hangzhou on business and came back this evening at after six. A busy and tiring day. I am glad to have received lots of your new discussions and I will spend time to respond to them all. I love your discussions which are good quality, not like some others' who just copied and pasted passages from the Internet for us to discuss and will be later deleted by mylot leaving our earnings reduced and our time wasted. lol. I love yours and they have always appealing to me. Thanks for your response, my dear friend and thanks for your greeting.

Dear ssh123, Keep aside rumour. In my school days, one teacher collected 100 students and told the first student few sentenaces. The teacher wanted the first student to convey the message to the next student Like the message went through 100 students. The 100th student was asked to write the message what he heard from the 99th student. The ultimate message written by the 100th student had no relevance to the first message given to the first student. The teacher had a note book on which he had written the original message. IT WAS LIKE THIS: "THIS SCHOOL WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1919 AND RUN BY A TRUST. THEN GOVERNMENT TAKEN OVER IN 1945" This is original message. The last student wrote as follows: THE SCHOOL WAS CONSTRUCTED BUT NOBODY KNOWS WHEN IT WAS CONSTRUCTED AND THE GOVERNMENT FAILED TO KEEP THE SCHOOL PROPERLY".
