Simply interested with what kind of games nowdays children play. And never I realized he took it to such extent writing all his games to show to me&#8230;(about 30 games on 2 pages).<\/p>\n<p>On my way home was thinking of that boy. He took joy on the things he could do \/ show me. While i took joy simply on him as lovely boy, simply on his being&#8230;and not on his actions. Of course his deeds are kind and heart-warming, nevertheless&#8230;his entire being to me is fascinating.
