Apples and lollipop....
It was the little boy's turn to tilt his head.
"Why? Were you not hungry…"
"I am hungry … but.." before she could explain the boy yelped out.
"Oh.. right you are a magician so you can get an apple or lollipop anytime right?"
"No, I can't… not for myself."
The boy asks curiously.
"Why ?? Why you can't?"
She takes the apple from his hand.
"Because…. Um well, even if I told you. You won't understand."
But the boy was not ready to take No for an answer.
"What? No no, I can understand you well … so please tell me, big sister. I will try to understand.."
"Well..since you asking I will tell you but promise me that you won't tell others. Only then I will tell you."
The boy extends a pinky finger.
"Alright, I promise … "
She smiles at the site of his small hands.
"Ohh… I forgot to tell you if you break your promise to me then I will take all your chocolate and lollipops, if you are sure then let's promise.
"Yes yes … I won't tell anyone else so tell me, big sister, please."
" Okay soo… come closer."
The boy bends towards her and she whispers in his ears.
"Well, I can't do that magic unless it's for others…"
The boy looks surprised and later pats her shoulders as if to reassure her.
"Don't worry big sister whenever you need apples come to me, I will give you a big basket of apples every time."
Hearing him say so she couldn't contain her laughter anymore.
"Haha but I can't accept your help for free so tell me "
"Why??" he asks his eyes big with curiosity again.
"Well, that's another secret or something like a condition. So you promise to never tell this to others or goblins will eat your candies. "
The boy steps back a little looking scared
"What?? No no, I will never tell them."
"Alright… then," she says getting up.
"Are you going somewhere, big sister ?"
