1 Glimpses of Youth

On a remote mountain covered with fog while sunlight sifting through the gaps, giving a serene mysterious feeling like an immortal abode.

Somewhere deep down the mountain a small shack beside the only red maple tree giving a feeling as if it has existed forever accompanying it.

A young boy running on the grass laughing without any worries while chasing a small bird with colourful feathers. Suddenly hearing something shifts his head towards the sound.

A person whose face could not be seen because of being covered by fog, giving a mysterious and calm feeling while hearing "Did you finish the task I gave you" person said calmly.

The young boy happily ran into the embrace of the person nervously replied "Ma-Master why did you come early you said you would be away for few days".

" Hmm...so without finishing you started playing" said the voice with a bit of anger. The young boy with tears glistned eyes said "I am sorry master" with heads down.

While softly laughing the person said" Silly boy it's ok you don't have to cry for something like this. Remember a man should never shed tears for small things tears of a man are precious".

The young man replied happily" Yes master I will remember this...hehe". The person said while patting the head of the young boy" Let's go ".

While the young man started running towards the shack the person gazed at the boy with melancholy and sadness with sigh escaping from the lips while watching the sky.
