The morning sun as well as the glowing sands under the fresh light from the heart of the sky are sometimes so beautiful that they can’t be overlooked.
That morning; I had gone to the beach alone to put my tiredness on the shoulders of the waves. A chubby boy, who lives with his family in a village near the beach, was playing there. I see him around from time to time, but he looks dirty and unpleasant, and I prefer not to approach him.
One of my hobbies is to find water bottle caps on the beach for a charity I know. I was collecting the plastic caps for half an hour and finally, I got tired and decided to go back. The curious chubby boy was still there.
As always, he was holding a stick and staring at me from a distance.
This time, I carelessly walked past him while holding the bicycle.
He looked at me curiously and asked: “water bottle caps are for the poor?”
I did not understand what he meant at first and said: “it is for charity.”
He asked again: “You mean poor people right!?”
I smiled involuntarily. He points to the front: “There is a lot more over there!”
I replied: “I don’t have time! I have to go back.” And very casually without any seriousness continued: “Be careful! The sea is dangerous! stay on the beach!”
Suddenly he replied: “Be careful on the way back! Watch out for cars on the road!”
I was laughing inside. His words warmed my heart but I didn’t know why! Like a child trying to show he's a man ... I nodded and moved on.
I said to myself: I’ll be careful!
