PLAY TIME
#WritcoStoryPrompt38
The two girls jumped over the hopscotch they had drawn on the curb with white chalk. It was their favourite game and they would be at it for hours.
They were thoroughly engrossed and enjoying their chances to the maximum. Sweat dripped , they wiped it with their palm.As they hopped their braids hopped too.Oh !! how carefree and happy were they.Crumpled and a trifle dirty too their frocks were faded.But those two were blissfully unaware.
Suddenly , a car drove up to the curb almost obliterating their view. Startled the girls huddled together hand in hand staring at the car.Finally , they collected their wits and ran away from their place of play to find another arena for hopping with their simple 'rest " time dream.
I gazed at them and couldn't help wondering how simple their needs were.What would their demands be?
A single vegetable or watery daal with a sweet meat to follow must be royal for them.
I thanked God for his bounties and prayed that children like those should at least get a hearty fill each day.
