MY PUPPY LOVE

When I was a small boy of 5 or 6, I had a good neighbor of my same age. She was from a rich family and she liked to come over to my house to play. We had a lot of fun playing with whatever available like the pebbles, coloured stones, leaves and seeds of the rubber trees. We had also pretended to be getting married, doing cooking and eating the food consisting of seeds and leaves. We enjoyed very much and were having great fun in the marriage procession when her eldest brother came by and stopped the game and pulled her back. Her mother was a typical soft spoken and kind lady with bound feet and she was a very devoted Buddhist . She was very good to me giving me sweets , fruit and whatever food she had. I was even allowed to play on her big and comfortable bed.Now nearly sixty over years later I met her eldest brother in a big party and was told she was still well and fit but I had no chance or enough courage to find out where she really was. Just keep it in the memory lane.
