Outside his home, chopping some wood, he noticed someone from a distant, a little girl. She looked curious on what he was doing. Out of curiosity he approached the little girl and asked "are you lost, little girl?"

"No" the little girl replied.

"Then what are you doing here? Do you want me to find your parents?" the man asked.

"Don't you remember me?" the little girl asked out of the blue.

"No, this the first time that I ever saw you." the man replied,"why do you asked?"

"Oh." the little girl answered with a little sigh, " you have forgotten me as well."

"What do you mean?" the man asked bluntly, "if you want help going back to the village, I can take you...."

"No!" the little girl answered, "you are just like the others!"

"What are you saying?" the man answered rashly, "look if you want some help, I can..."

The man stopped mid sentence and remembered something, this little girl in front of him was the same little girl he saw when he was a little boy. After realizing it, he want back to his home as fast as he could. But it was a bit too late, a disaster happened.

Shocked, he kneeled in front of his destroyed home. His emotion got the best him, he can't hold his tears.

Overcome with emotion, he turned around and saw the little girl gone.
