Winnie the poohi


They sat together on the bench. An old man and a child. Oblivious to each other.

A kite trailed high in the air. It was set free when the thread cut.

Both child and the man looked on longingly.

Their eyes met. The old man winked. Soon they raced behind the kite happily!

    That is the beauty of life.

    Even the smallest thing can bring out the same joy in a boy and an old man.
