72 5. Innocence .I

She kept the basket aside and sat herself on a bolder...The child raised his head towards her hoping to get care...but she was too cold to be gazed...Seeing her cold attitude the baby began crying again...when she pulled him up...he stopped crying. ...then after he had stopped she again tried to put him back in the basket and the moment she let him there he again started crying...like that she played with his innocence then finally rested him onto her lap....but what will she do!the child is too small to be left alone...while thinking she got up and went towards the river carrying the basket with her...
